Chris McNaughton '07 was the center on the historic 2005 and 2006 men's basketball championship teams, and his game-winning jump-hook with 10.5 seconds left in the 64-63 victory over Kansas remains one of the most iconic plays in the history of Bucknell Athletics.

McNaughton was a member of the Patriot League All-Rookie Team in 2003-04, then earned First Team All-Patriot League honors in each of his final three seasons. He was also a three-time Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year who majored in electrical engineering while starring on the hardwood.

McNaughton's 1,529 career points ranked sixth at the time of his graduation and is now seventh all-time. His .598 career field-goal percentage still ranks No. 2 in school history, behind only fellow Hall-of-Famer Patrick King. McNaughton's .664 field-goal percentage in 2003-04 also ranks second all-time, and he shot 66.9 percent from the field over his final 13 career postseason games.

A Christy Mathewson Award winner and a member of the Patriot League 25th Anniversary Team, McNaughton went on to have a 10-year professional career in his native Germany, including a stint on the German National Team.
