What JP Pegues can bring to Auburn
Auburn has its point guard.
The Tigers landed their first portal commitment in former Furman guard JP Pegues, who spent three years with Paladins before transferring.
Pegues, who stands at 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, averaged 18.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game on 42 percent shooting and 36 percent from deep. He also shot 87.5 percent from the free-throw line.
In his final seven games of the season, Pegues averaged 25.6 points per game on a true shooting of 63.4 percent.
Pegues is a bit different from previous Bruce Pearl guards as he looks bigger than listed height and weight, and has a calm, controlled pace to his game that is rare for a college guard to possess.
