Columbia’s veteran 3-and-D guard with real bite
Niko Scott brings senior-year steadiness, perimeter shooting, and defensive edge to Columbia. In the 2009-10 season, he shot 45% from three, led the team in that category, and finished his Columbia career ranked eighth all-time in both three-pointers made (138) and steals (85), which tells you exactly why he mattered: spacing the floor and making life annoying for opposing guards. He was also a co-captain, a defensive MVP in 2008-09, and showed toughness through injuries late in that season, so he fits teams that value leadership, shot-making, and gritty two-way reliability.
