Hall of Fame Focus Feature

Quincy Douby scored 1,690 points, the sixth-highest total in Rutgers men's basketball history, in three seasons in Piscataway. The Brooklyn native averaged 25.4 points per-game as a junior in 2005-06, setting the school record for points in a season (839), to lead the league in scoring en route to becoming RU's only First Team All-Big East Conference selection. He made a school-record nine three-pointers to score a Carrier Dome opponent record 41 points at Syracuse on February 1, 2006. The Haggerty Award winner as the Metropolitan Player of the Year and an All-American in 2005-06, Douby is among the Rutgers career leaders in every offensive category. The sleek shooting guard burst upon the scene as a freshman in 2003-04, scoring 35 points in an NIT semifinals victory, while earning Big East All-Rookie and Met Rookie of the Year accolades. Douby was selected with the 19th pick in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft by Sacramento, becoming the first Rutgers player drafted in the first round since Roy Hinson in 1983. He played three seasons in the NBA with the Kings and Toronto Raptors before pursuing a successful career on the hardwood overseas.
