Coastal Carolina’s old-school combo guard who filled it up and competed hard
In his Coastal Carolina career, Pele Paelay was a high-volume, two-way guard who averaged 16.8 points per game in the 2004-05 season and finished with 1,178 career points, 439 rebounds, 199 assists, and 139 steals. He was the 2005 Big South Player of the Year and an Honorable Mention All-American, with a reputation for toughness, steady scoring, and doing a little bit of everything—exactly the kind of selfless, competitive guard coaches usually love.
