Justin Gray is a professional basketball player who currently plays for Tsmoki-Minsk of the Belarusian Premier League.
Education
After leaving, Justin played his last year of high school basketball at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, a prep basketball program that has produced 22 National Basketball Association players such as stars Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. He was recruited heavily across the nation because of his success at Oak Hill, where he put up 16.4 points, 5.4 assists, and 2.6 steals per game, but he eventually committed to playing his basketball at Wake Forest University.
Career
He got known for his proficient college career at Wake Forest University and who"s been fluctuating from team to team in Europe. Gray created a stir of excitement his freshman year (2002–2003) at Wake, he scored 10 points and dished out 5 assists in his debut game against Yale, in which Wake Forest easily was victorious. Shooting mostly outside shots, Gray"s field goal percentage was below 40% but even still he averaged 12.7 points per game.
His performance was strong enough to be recognized by Sporting News on their 4th team All-American Freshman, while he made first team Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Freshman and received Administrative Committee on Company-ordination Freshman of the week one time during the 02-03 season.
In the summer before Gray"s sophomore year, point guard Chris Paul arrived. The Chris Paul and Justin Gray combo then became one of the best back courts in the Administrative Committee on Company-ordination. With the assistance of Paul"s prevailing passing skills Justin averaged 17.0 points per game, this time shooting 41% from the field and 38% from the 3 point line.
Administrative Committee on Company-ordination fans were convinced both players would end up in the National Basketball Association as good as they were playing together. However Wake"s fans were disappointed when they were defeated by Saint Joseph"s in an intense Sweet 16 match up, in which Gray scored 23 points.
Gray did finish his sophomore season earning Associated Press First Team All-Administrative Committee on Company-ordination honors.
During the 2004-2005 season Justin"s role on the team was reduced because sophomore Chris Paul was taking more of the load on his own, however they were upset by West Virginia in the 2nd round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. Paul then left for the National Basketball Association to play for the New Orleans Hornets, leaving his roommate Gray with a poor team to work with during the 2005-2006 season.
