Versatile Wing Who Produced for EIU When It Mattered Most
In the 2017-18 season at Eastern Illinois, Ray Crossland gave the Panthers steady two-way value, appearing in 30 games, making 23 starts, and averaging 8.2 points per game with 11 double-figure scoring nights. The 6-foot-6 wing’s appeal was his versatility and late-season uptick—he was described by EIU as playing his best basketball down the stretch—making him a useful fit for teams needing a physical perimeter defender, capable rebounder, and low-drama contributor who can slot into multiple roles without needing the ball to dominate.
