SYRACUSE, NY - NOVEMBER 18: Monmouth Hawks Guard Justin Ray (7) drives the ball against Syracuse Orange Guard Nate Kingz (4) during the first half of the College Basketball game between the Monmouth Hawks and the Syracuse Orange on November 18, 2025, at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY.

The Deacs have added another player to the backcourt.
Ray is a 6-3, 170 pound sophomore who averaged 11.3 points per game this season and shot 42% from beyond the arc. His 66 made 3-pointers this season ranked 9th in the CAA and would have put him 2nd on the team for the Deacs this season behind Juke Harris’s 87 made 3-pointers. Ray scored in double figures in 17 games this season, including a career high 27 points against Northeastern in a game where he made 7 of his 14 3-point attempts. He also scored 25 points to go along with 3 assists in a loss to Syracuse.
Based on these highlights from that Syracuse game, Ray is mostly a spot up shooter with in-the-gym range, but can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket when guys overplay him. I would expect him to come off the bench for the Deacs next season to help space the court and provide some distance shooting.
Go Deacs.
