Ethan Ray
About Ethan
Expert Analysis
Colby Giacubeno | Prep Hoops Scout
While much of the attention that Ray receives has to do with his raw scoring numbers for Damascus, his versatility on both ends combined with sound basketball IQ makes for a well-rounded hybrid forward. Due to the lack of true size on the roster, Ray has played the five and with that, is expected to defend bigs, hold down the glass and anchor the defense in the painted area. While he isn’t the biggest bruising presence on the floor, he makes up for it with his length, agile feet and active hands. Using his length to haul in rebounds, it allows for grab-and-go opportunities where his long strides and fluid athleticism take centerstage. He’s a capable spot-up shooter, attacks gaps effectively off the catch and converts at the charity stripe with efficiency. The junior wing is averaging 23 points and just under five rebounds per game as Damascus sits 8-4 overall.
