Background

Gray has D1 state of mind and really knows the game of basketball. Gray transfered to Glenville in 2011 from Morehead State where he won a conference championship. Kevin has been a leader for the Pioneers the last two seasons increasing the win total for the Pioneers each year but is not satisfied with just winning more games. He is still trying to bring home that championship for the Pioneers.

Gray is a flatout marksman from the outside. He has long range and is threat as soon as he crosses halfcourt. Unlike most most shooters Gray defense is superb and may be even better than his shooting ability. He is a great on ball defender and really puts pressure on opposing point guards. His off the ball D is great too he is always in the right position either in help side or chasing shooters off screens.

This season will be Gray's last in a Pioneer uniform and he will make the most of it. He plans on graduating this year with a degree in Computer Science. And would like to continue his basketball career overseas if the opputunity presents its self
