Jacque-Vaughn

  Jacque Vaughn (born February 11, 1975 in Los Angeles, California) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays point guard for the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA.

He is 6-1/185cm tall and weighs 190lbs/86.2kg.

Vaughn played collegiately at the University of Kansas and was selected 27th overall by the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Draft. In addition to playing four seasons in Utah, Vaughn has also played with the Orlando Magic, the Atlanta Hawks (in two separate stints), as well as the New Jersey Nets. He holds 1997-2006 career averages of 4.8 points and 2.6 assists in 17.2 minutes per game.

In his college career, Vaughn made an immediate impact, becoming the starting point guard as a freshman. Among his first year highlights was a game winning three pointer at the buzzer to beat Indiana University in a game at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas.

In college, Vaughn was best known as a distributor of the basketball. He also had great speed and was a strong defender. By the end of his college career, he was the all-time leader in assists (804 assists) in Kansas basketball history (since surpassed by Aaron Miles) as well as the Big Eight Conference all-time record holder. In 1997, the award given annually to the school's assist leader was renamed for Vaughn.

Also an outstanding student, Vaughn was a two time Academic All-American at Kansas and the 1997 Academic All American of the Year. Vaughn was the Big Eight Player of the Year in 1996 and a two time all-conference pick.

His college jersey was retired in 2002 and hangs in honor in the rafter of Allen Fieldhouse.
