Quincy Douby
Quincy Douby (born May 16, 1984 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American basketball player. A 6'3" sharpshooter, Douby played shooting guard for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The Sacramento Kings made him the 19th selection of the 2006 NBA Draft.
In his junior year, Douby became one of the top guards in the Big East and was named to the All Big-East team. He led the Big East in scoring with 25.1 points a game (including an astonishing 27 points/game in conference play), becoming the first Rutgers player to lead the Big East in scoring. In addition, he broke the all-time single season scoring record at Rutgers. Douby scored a Big East season high and Carrier Dome opponent record 41 points at Syracuse on February 1, 2006. After leading Rutgers to a first round victory in the Big East tournament over Seton Hall, Douby dropped 31 over the #2 Villanova Wildcats. Despite keeping it close in the first half, Villanova ran away with it in the second half ending Rutgers's hopes of a NCAA tournament birth. On May 15, 2006, Douby officially hired an agent making himself ineligible to return to college. During his three seasons at Rutgers, the Scarlet Knights had a winning record and Douby is considered by many sports pundits to be one of the best players to come out of Rutgers in decades.
On June 28, 2006, Douby was drafted in the first round by the Sacramento Kings, nineteenth overall. Douby became the first Rutgers player to be drafted in the first round since Roy Hinson in 1983. On the 3rd of July, 2006, he was signed to a five-year contract by Sacramento.
