Doug Gottlieb Oklahoma State Gottlieb has an assist-to-turnover ratio of more than 3.5-to-1.Todd Warshaw/Allsport Position:  Guard Height:  6'1" Weight:  190 Class:  Junior Stat to note Gottlieb leads the nation in assists, with 8.6 a game, and handed out 11 assists in the Cowboys' first-round beating of Syracuse. Scouting report Gottlieb is a scrappy point guard who plays with no fear -- and that's put him in some hot water in his career. Gottlieb started his college trek at Notre Dame, bolted from there a few months before he was found guilty of credit card fraud, made a stop at a junior college and now, finally, has found a home with coach Eddie Sutton. He's been a mainstay of Sutton's frenetic game since stepping into Stillwater, though he's had his moments there, too. In a game against UCLA in December, Gottlieb was thrown out for elbowing Bruins point guard Baron Davis. It was the culmination of a spat that included Gottlieb's father, Bob, a former coach at Jacksonville and Wisconsin-Milwaukee, who spent the days before the game trash-talking Davis in the press. The younger Gottlieb is a talker, too, but he can play. He's not a great shooter, but his assist-to-turnover ratio is about 3.5-to-1. He missed out on being named Mr. Basketball in his native California to a guy named Paul Pierce, the fine rookie for the Boston Celtics.
