Justin Gray (basketball)  Justin Gray (born March 31, 1984) is a retired American professional basketball player for U BT Cluj-Napoca of the Romanian Basketball League. He became known for his proficient college career at Wake Forest University and since fluctuated from professional team to professional team in Europe. Now he is an assistant men’s basketball coach at Winthrop University. After leaving West Charlotte High School, Justin played his last year of high school basketball at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, a prep basketball program that has produced 22 NBA players such as stars Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony. He was recruited heavily across the nation because of his success at Oak Hill, where he put up 16.4 points, 5.4 assists, and 2.6 steals per game, but he eventually committed to playing his basketball at Wake Forest University. Gray created a stir of excitement his freshman year (2002–2003) at Wake, he scored 10 points and dished out 5 assists in his debut game against Yale, in which Wake Forest easily was victorious. Shooting mostly outside shots, Gray's field goal percentage was below 40% but even still he averaged 12.7 points per game. His performance was strong enough to be recognized by Sporting News on their 4th team All-American Freshman, while he made first team ACC Freshman and received ACC Freshman of the week one time during the 02-03 season. In the summer before Gray's sophomore year, point guard Chris Paul arrived. The Chris Paul and Justin Gray combo then became one of the best back courts in the ACC. With the assistance of Paul's prevailing passing skills Justin averaged 17.0 points per game, this time shooting 41% from the field and 38% from the 3 point line. ACC fans were convinced both players would end up in the National Basketball Association as good as they were playing together. However Wake's fans were disappointed when they were defeated by Saint Joseph's in an intense Sweet 16 match up, in which Gray scored 23 points. Gray did finish his sophomore season earning AP First Team All-ACC honors. During the 2004–05 season Justin's role on the team was reduced because sophomore Chris Paul was taking more of the load on his own, however they were upset by West Virginia in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. Paul then left for the NBA to play for the New Orleans Hornets, leaving his roommate Gray with a poor team to work with during the 2005–06 season. Gray silently had his best season yet, averaging 18.2 points a game.
