Guard Juwan Staten

On this list, Staten is the most recent to have played for the Mountaineers. He just graduated this past Spring and guided WVU to three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances. He transferred to WVU from his hometown of Dayton, playing one season with the University of Dayton Flyers.

Staten was a solid floor general, making his teammates around him better ballplayers. He is second all-time with 193 assists in the 2014 season.

He is seventh all-time in free throws made, with 182 in the 2014 season. Foul shots have been a downfall for the Mountaineers in recent years, so having a reliable shooter at the charity stripe was a true asset. Also in his senior year, Staten averaged 14.2 points per game.

Staten was signed as a free agent by the Golden State Warriors and he currently plays for the Santa Cruz Warriors of the Development League.
