Valparaiso guard Rashida Ray brings steady, low-usage backcourt value
Rashida Ray is a disciplined Valparaiso guard whose value comes more from reliability and role fit than volume scoring; across her best collegiate season, she averaged 5.5 points per game and appeared in 94 games with 34 career starts, showing she can earn trust in a rotation.[4] Her current statistical profile is modest, but that can still matter for a team looking for a steady guard who understands pace, spacing, and system basketball rather than a high-usage shot creator.[5][3]
