David Holston (born January 26, 1986)[1] is an American professional basketball player for JDA Dijon Basket of France's LNB Pro A.
Born in Pontiac, Michigan, Holston attended Avondale High School in Auburn Hills where he led the team to the 2002 Class B state championship.
[2] Holston enrolled at Chicago State in the fall of 2004 and earned a spot on the men's basketball roster as a walk-on.
[2] During Holston's collegiate career, the school was classified as an Independent, meaning it had no athletic conference affiliation.
[3] He went on to have a prolific career at CSU but received very little national attention due to a confluence of factors: attending a small Division I school that had no conference, Chicago State's historically sub-par performance in men's basketball, and his own diminutive 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) stature.
