Efficient, physical interior anchor for Northwestern
Pardon is a high-efficiency big man whose value comes from rim protection, rebounding, and reliable finishing around the basket; in Northwestern’s 2018-19 season, he posted a school-record .619 field-goal percentage, led the team with 7.1 rebounds per game, and added 56 blocks. He fits best on a team that wants a sturdy paint presence more than a stretch center, and his low-maintenance game made him a dependable two-way interior piece rather than a flashy scorer.
