Player of the Year (1998)

Second Team Consensus All-American (1998)

Basically a one man team for the Irish in their first few years in the league, but being the only focus for opposing defenses did little to slow him down.

The 6’9” forward was a sophomore when the Irish joined the Big East but he proved he was one of the conference’s elite players right away with 17.2 ppg and 7.1 rpg. His junior year was even more impressive when Garrity averaged 21.1 ppg and 7.4 rpg, while making 38.2% of his threes and 77.6% of his free throws. Garrity hit new heights as a senior, despite very little help from the rest of the team, with 23.2 ppg, which was 6th best in the nation, and 8.3 rpg. He also continued to show his good shooting hitting 37.0% of his threes and 75.0% of his free throws. Additionally, his 24.1 ppg average in conference led the Big East. That great season resulted in Player of the Year and consensus Second Team All-American honors in 1998.

For his career, he accumulated 2,085 points and 776 rebounds. Drafted 19th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks, but was immediately traded to Phoenix. He recently completed his tenth season in the league, the last nine with the Orlando Magic. His career average is 7.3 ppg.
