Veteran 6-5 Rice guard with shooting touch and a grinder’s edge
A.J. Lapray’s value comes less from flash and more from savvy: the 2017-18 Rice senior guard brought size at 6-5, perimeter shooting, and experience after a winding college path that included injury setbacks at Oregon and a hip issue that cost him 18 games at Pepperdine. In his last Rice season, ESPN listed him at 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, while Rice’s own notes show he could stretch the floor and had enough toughness to keep fighting back into the rotation. If your team wants a mature, low-drama wing who understands his role, he’s a fit.
