Player Profile
When Daniel Richard "Boo" Buie III steps onto the court, records fall. This point guard born in Albany transformed Northwestern into a formidable force in the Big Ten, etching his name into the history of the university program with 2,187 points scored, an all-time record for the school.
His journey toward excellence began at Gould Academy in Maine, where his outstanding averages of 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists per game already signaled an exceptional talent. But it was at Northwestern that Buie revealed his full dimension as a leader. Over four seasons, he guided the Wildcats to 76 victories, establishing the program's competitiveness in a ruthless conference.
The pinnacle of his college career came with a resounding achievement: the historic victory against Purdue, then ranked number one nationally. That performance perfectly illustrates the perseverance that defines Buie, capable of raising his game in crucial moments. His statistical versatility is impressive: he ranks among the all-time best in Northwestern history in assists, made field goals, and three-pointers.
A family detail adds a special dimension to his journey: his half-brother Talor Battle, a former star player at Penn State turned assistant coach, joined Northwestern's coaching staff during Boo's tenure, creating a unique synergy between family expertise and athletic ambition.
Undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft, Buie continues his development with the Westchester Knicks in the G League, affiliated with the New York Knicks organization. His steady improvement and distinction both academically and athletically paint the portrait of a competitor determined to take the next step in his professional career.
