Marist’s David Bennett was a steady, high-IQ two-way guard with a scorer’s touch
In the 2002-03 season, David Bennett was a third-team All-MAAC guard for Marist, finishing second on the team in scoring at 13.1 points per game while leading the Red Foxes in free-throw shooting at 90.8%—elite touch under pressure. He also added 3.31 assists and 1.69 steals per game, showing he could impact both ends without forcing the issue. The big differentiator: he was a transfer who matured into a reliable, late-game weapon and a career-high 42-point scorer, the kind of composed, efficient guard coaches love plugging into a rotation.
