Derrick Colter was Duquesne’s steady backcourt engine—tough, durable, and relentless
In the 2015-16 season, Derrick Colter gave Duquesne a veteran guard who could score, distribute, and show up every night: he finished his Dukes career with 1,695 points, 526 assists, and 125 straight starts, while leading the team in assists for four consecutive seasons.[2][11] He also battled through serious off-court adversity, including cancer, yet remained a high-intensity, trusted floor general with proven toughness and consistency—exactly the kind of no-drama, glue-guy guard a team can build around.[5][10]
