Quincy Douby (born May 16, 1984) is a former professional basketball player, originally from the United States and later naturalized as a Montenegrin citizen. Standing 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 175 pounds, Douby played as a shooting guard during his collegiate career with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. He was selected 19th overall in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings.
High school career
Raised in Brooklyn's Coney Island area, Douby attended William E. Grady High School, where he played basketball during his junior and senior years after being discovered by Jack Ringel, a renowned NYC Hall of Fame coach. Ringel honed Douby's raw athletic abilities and skills, helping him become a pivotal contributor to the team. In his junior year, Grady secured the PSAL A division title, with Douby contributing 19 points in the championship game. During his senior season, he averaged an impressive 35.6 points per game, leading Grady to the PSAL semifinals and setting a school record by scoring 63 points against Franklin D. Roosevelt High School.
For the 2002–03 academic year, Douby enrolled at St. Thomas More School, a prep institution in Oakdale, Connecticut. Although initially committed to Hofstra University, he ultimately chose to attend Rutgers University after being convinced by coach Gary Waters. This decision marked his progression from streetball to competing at the NCAA Division I level.
Maintaining a strong connection with coach Ringel, Douby later purchased a residence in Ringel's neighboring community of Freehold, New Jersey.
College career
During his freshman year at Rutgers, Douby delivered a standout performance with 35 points in an overtime victory during the NIT semifinal. His efforts earned him a spot on the Big East All-Rookie Team that season.
Douby's sophomore campaign saw significant improvement as he averaged 15.1 points per game—ranking 11th in the Big East—and contributed 3.38 assists per game while maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio of approximately 2:1. He received Big East Player of the Week recognition in late November. Despite Rutgers finishing last in conference standings, they managed an upset against Notre Dame in the opening round of the Big East Tournament, with Douby scoring 15 points.
In his junior year, Douby earned All-Big East honors as a guard and led the conference in scoring with an average of 25.4 points per game—the first Rutgers player to achieve this feat—while breaking the university’s single-season scoring record. A highlight included scoring a Big East season-high and Carrier Dome opponent record of 41 points against Syracuse on February 1, 2006. After guiding Rutgers to a first-round win over Seton Hall in the Big East tournament, he posted 31 points against #2 ranked Villanova. On May 15, 2006, Douby retained an agent, thereby forfeiting his NCAA eligibility.
Professional career
Douby was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 19th overall pick on June 28, 2006, becoming Rutgers’ first first-round NBA draft pick since 1983. He officially signed with Sacramento on July 3, 2006.
On February 18, 2009, the Kings waived Douby to create roster space for a trade involving Brad Miller and Drew Gooden. He subsequently joined the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League on March 11, 2009. Shortly thereafter, on March 24, he secured a 10-day contract with the Toronto Raptors which was extended through the conclusion of the 2008–09 NBA season.
The Raptors released him on November 12, 2009; he did not appear in any games during that season. Five days later, Douby signed a one-year contract with Turkish club Darüşşafaka Cooper Tires and emerged as the leading scorer in the Turkish Basketball League with averages of 23.6 points and 4.9 assists per game.
On September 17, 2010, Douby inked a one-year deal with China’s Xinjiang Flying Tigers. In March 2012, he joined UCAM Murcia in Spain for the remainder of their season before returning to China later that year to play for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls. On January 2, 2013, he set a Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) single-game scoring record by tallying 75 points and finished that season averaging 31.6 points per game. Additionally, he holds CBA records for most points scored during Finals games (53) and All-Star games (44). Following that season’s conclusion, Douby competed for Sagesse Beirut in Lebanon and represented Applied Science University at the 2013 FIBA Asia Champions Cup.
Douby signed with the Sioux Falls Skyforce on November 1, 2013; however, after just two appearances he departed to join China’s Shanghai Sharks. On February 28, 2014, he returned to Turkey by signing with Darüşşafaka & Doğuş in Turkey’s second-tier league for the rest of that campaign.
In July 2014, Douby resumed playing in China with Tianjin Ronggang. On November 18, 2016, he was acquired by the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League but parted ways after two games during December. On January 5, 2017, he signed for Turkish side Afyonkarahisar Belediyespor to complete that season.
In August of 2017, Douby joined Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut competing in Lebanon’s Basketball League.
