St. Bonaventure

David Vanterpool helped lead the Bonnies back to national respect, taking Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team honors in 1991-92. As a senior, he averaged 17.5 ppg and was named First Team All-A-10. More importantly, he led the 1994-95 team to the NIT - the first for the program since 1983. Vanterpool stands 14th all-time in career scoring with 1,474 points and is also among the program's leaders in assists (401, eighth), rebounding (630, 22nd) and three-pointers (106, 19th).

His 247 steals were at the time a school record and a total that still ranks fourth in program history. A player in the NBA for Washington and New Jersey, Vanterpool today is a well-respected NBA assistant coach with Minnesota, Portland, Brooklyn and Washington. He was inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame in 2006.

In Bona's Centennial Season, he was selected as a member of the Bonnies All-Time Team.
