    Pretty good collegian! And an outstanding shooter.
    This is from his floridagators.com bio...
    Golden played collegiately at Saint Mary's College in Moraga, Calif., where he helped the Gaels to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances. As a senior point guard, he ranked second in the nation with a 3.68 assists-to-turnovers ratio and led the West Coast Conference with a .574 3-point field goal percentage. The lone captain of Saint Mary's 2007-08 team, Golden finished his career as the Gaels' all-time leader in free-throw percentage (.852) and eighth with 269 career assists.

    Even more impressive that he started as a walk-on and truly earned all of his success
