RaiQuan Gray is a BIG man, not just a big man. At 6’8” and a listed 268 pounds, his bulk had been his strength through his college career at Florida State, but where that bulk was a bit on the doughy side and it cost him in the Draft. He was taken by the Nets at No. 59, next to last, in the 2021 Draft. Brooklyn’s brain trust felt that with some solid passing skills and deep shooting, he could molded literally into an NBA player, perhaps a position-less one.
So, he spent last season in Long Island, a development project.
