Braylon Rayson (born December 25, 1994) is an American professional basketball player for BK Ogre of the Latvian-Estonian Basketball League. He played college basketball for the Central Michigan Chippewas. In 2019, he was named NBL Canada Player of the Year.
Rayson attended West Mesquite High School and played AAU ball for the Dallas Trojans. As a senior, he averaged 30.4 points per game. Despite his scoring prowess, his relatively short stature led him to being underrecruited by college teams so he signed with coach Keno Davis and Central Michigan.[1]
College career
As a freshman, Rayson averaged 10.7 points per game as a part-time starter and had a 30-point outing in a triple overtime victory over Ball State. He became a starter as a sophomore and averaged 11 points per game, then raised his scoring to 16 points per game as a junior.[1] As a senior, Rayson averaged 21.2 points per game, combining with Marcus Keene (30 points per game) to be the highest-scoring duo in NCAA Division I, though the Chippewas finished the season 16-16.[2] At Central Michigan, Rayson was twice named Third Team All-MAC. He finished first in program history in three-pointers made with 271 and third in total points scored with 1,888.[3]
