Ray Rivera brings veteran guard toughness to LIU
Ray Rivera is a **6-4 guard** whose value goes beyond box-score production: he is known for a big leap after an earlier setback, returning with noticeably stronger work habits and becoming LIU’s **leading scorer at 13.1 points per game** in the referenced season while also pacing the NEC in **free-throw shooting**.[1] That profile suggests a reliable, competitive backcourt piece who can score efficiently, handle pressure, and set a tone with intensity—useful if your team wants a guard who has already shown resilience, coachability, and a willingness to maximize a second chance.[1]
