Ohio State’s defensive Swiss Army knife and winning-time glue guy
In the 2010-11 season, David Lighty was the kind of multi-tool wing coaches trust in March: 12.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, plus elite perimeter toughness and veteran poise for Ohio State[1][3]. His calling card is two-way reliability—strong enough to guard multiple spots, smart enough to stay mistake-free, and resilient after earlier foot and ACL injuries that tested his explosiveness[12]. If your team wants a physical, high-IQ, no-drama wing who impacts winning without needing the offense built around him, Lighty is a very real fit[11][12].
