Dererk Pardon established himself as a Northwestern basketball legend on March 1st , 2017.
Yet, his legacy with the program goes well beyond that play. Over the course of his career, Pardon has grown from a low three-star recruit to the focal point of Northwestern’s offense and often the best player on the floor at a given moment. Entering the season, it was certain that Pardon would be playing a huge role on both sides of the court, and, as expected, he excelled in both situations. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to overcome the struggles of his teammates.
