Atlantic 10 Basketball: Ranking of 25 best players from last decade (2013-23)

5. Jack Gibbs

A scoring machine, Gibbs is a 5’11 point guard from Westerville, Ohio who shot the cover off the ball in his four years at Davidson. One of the Wildcats’ very best offensive weapons in recent memory, Gibbs spent his freshman season as a bench piece in Davidson’s final year in the SoCon, but took on a major role in their first three seasons in the A-10.

As a sophomore, he averaged 16.2 points and 4.8 assists per game and played in the only NCAA Tournament of his career, putting up 14 points in a loss to Iowa. His offensive numbers skyrocketed as an upperclassman, averaging 23.5 points and 4.9 assists per game, including three separate 40-point performances, all wins for the Wildcats. His numbers were just as potent as a senior, plus he shot the ball much better from beyond the arc.

Gibbs was named All-A-10 for each of Davidson’s first three years in the conference, including First Team honors in those final two campaigns. He actually led the conference in scoring for both seasons and was the top 3-point shooter as a senior. Gibbs was a major weapon in the backcourt for the Wildcats across his career, helming an offense that proved it fit right in after changing conferences. It’s just a shame he only got one shot at the Big Dance.
