RaiQuan Gray, signed by the Nets to a two-way contract on Saturday morning, made his NBA debut in Sunday’s regular-season finale.
“It was great. It felt comfortable with this group of guys. I’ve been here in the summertime, so I’m familiar with some of the faces. But it was good to get out and experience that. It’s like a dream come true. But I felt comfortable, confident,” said Gray, the 59th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft who has been with G-League Long Island.Gray’s father was also on hand.“You always want to compete against the best and the NBA is the best league in the world.
Starters Nic Claxton, Cam Johnson, Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith were out, along with backups Joe Harris, Royce O’Neale, Seth Curry, Edmond Sumner and Ben Simmons. “He was heading towards a triple-double at halftime. So, impressive in the fact that we’d talked to him about being thankful for the opportunity. You don’t know when it’s going to present itself. He was ready, he showed up,” coach Jacque Vaughn said. “We talked about it as a group that this is a guy that fits in, he’s been around our guys, has a relationship with guys, and is easy to cheer for. Glad he played well.”And it took a season to put in the work, but just seconds to put in the book.
