One of eight Temple men's basketball players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft (2006 Draft, 29th pick, NY Knicks), Mardy Collins was the last in a long line of great players coached by the late Hall of Famer John Chaney.  The 6-6 point guard had an incredible four-year career for the Owls, scoring 1,919 points, which ranks fifth in school history, while ranking second in program history in steals (290) and field goals (718). 

The team's leader in points, assists, and steals his junior and senior seasons, Collins was a two-time First Team NABC and Atlantic 10 selection, and three-time all-Philadelphia Big 5 honoree.  He also earned A-10 all-Defensive Team accolades twice, ranking in the Top 10 in the nation in steals per game his junior (2,8 pg, 9th) and senior (2.8, 10th) seasons.
