David Holston (born January 26, 1986)[1] is an American expatriate professional basketball player. As of August 2011, he plays in the Basketball Bundesliga for Artland Dragons.[2] After graduating from Chicago State University (CSU) in 2009, Holston played his first two years of professional basketball for Pınar Karşıyaka in the Turkish Basketball League.[3]

Early life and college

Born in Pontiac, Michigan, Holston attended Avondale High School in Auburn Hills where he led the team to the 2002 Class B state championship.[4] During his career at Avondale he earned all-county and all-state honors, scored over 2,000 career points, and yet was not offered a single college basketball scholarship.[4]

Holston enrolled at Chicago State in the fall of 2004 and earned a spot on the men's basketball roster as a walk-on.[4] During Holston's collegiate career, the school was classified as an Independent, meaning it had no athletic conference affiliation.[5] He went on to have a prolific career at CSU but received very little national attention due to a confluence of factors: attending a small Division I school that had no conference, Chicago State's historically sub-par performance in men's basketball, and his own diminutive 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) stature.[4][5]

During Holston's tenure at CSU between 2005–06 and 2008–09 (he redshirted his true freshman season), he scored a school-record 2,331 points, finished in the top five in points per game nationally for his senior season, led the NCAA in three-point field goals made per game in his final two seasons, and was the first Chicago State player to garner Division I postseason All-American honors, among others.[6][7] Holston finished his collegiate career with averages of 19.6 points, 4.4 assists and 2.1 steals per game,[6] and his 450 career three-pointers trail only Duke's J. J. Redick (457) and Oakland Travis Bader (461+) as the most in NCAA Division I history.[7] During his senior season in 2008–09, his averages of 25.9 points, 6.4 assists, 3.7 steals and three rebounds per game led CSU to a 19–13 record—its first winning season since the school transitioned to Division I—and he was named the Independent Player of the Year.[3][8]

Professional career

Due to his size, Holston was not chosen in the 2009 NBA Draft.[9] That July, he signed with Pınar Karşıyaka of the Turkish Basketball League[3] and played for them for two seasons. During his first year, Holston averaged approximately 12 points and four assists per game, and during his second season he averaged roughly 15 points and six assists.[1] He then signed with the Artland Dragons in Germany's Basketball Bundesliga for the 2011–12 season.[2] In the summer of 2012, he signed a contract with Mersin BB.
