Elite Scoring Guard with 18.4 PPG Junior Season and Top Playmaker Vision at Auburn
JP Pegues is a high-intensity, Nashville-native scoring guard who averaged 18.4 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds during his 2023-24 junior campaign at Furman before transferring to Auburn in April 2025, making him a senior in the 2024-25 season [1][4][9]. His differentiator is a rare 2.32 assist-to-turnover ratio that proves he creates offense without sacrificing control, while his four consecutive 20+ point games late last season showcase his clutch scoring intensity [1][6]. Though listed at 6'2" and 165 lbs, Pegues plays with a physical, fearless mentality that masks his size, and he has no notable injury history, offering immediate reliability [4]. He's a perfect fit for teams needing a lead guard who can both score and run the offense with elite efficiency, answering 'why care' with his proven ability to be a team's leading scorer and top playmaker simultaneously [1].
