Florida Gators' High School Phenom Who Became a College Bench Spark
Ray Shipman, a 6-3 G/F from Florida, exploded for 26.5 PPG, 6 RPG, and 3 APG as a senior at Pace High in 2008, earning Mr. Basketball and Gatorade Player of the Year honors as a three-time All-State sharpshooter. At Florida (2008-09), he posted modest career NCAA averages of 3.3 PPG, 1.8 RPG, and 0.5 APG over 16 games (47% FG), thriving as an energetic bench contributor with scoring punch and rebounding grit for his size. His high-motor intensity and Florida roots make him a reliable role player fit for teams needing versatile guards off the pine.
