Glen Anthony Rice, Jr. (born January 1, 1991) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA Development League. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2013 NBA Draft, but he was traded on draft night to the Wizards. He formerly played college basketball for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets basketball team but was dismissed from the team during his junior season for the 2011–12 Yellow Jackets team and went pro the following season, playing a year for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA Development League (D-League). He led the Vipers to a D-League championship in 2013. As a pro, Rice, Jr. has developed a reputation as a dunker, earning an invitation to the D-League slam dunk contest and then earning two slam dunk of the day recognitions in the 2013 NBA Summer League. He was MVP of the 2014 NBA Summer League. In high school, Rice was the Cobb County, Georgia player of the year as a junior at George Walton Comprehensive High School and an All-State selection as both a junior and senior. He joined a highly recruited class at Georgia Tech. He is the son of NBA All-Star and NBA Champion Glen Rice. ==High school career== As a junior, Rice was the 2008 Cobb County high school basketball boy's player of the year, according to the ''Marietta Daily Journal'', as well as a third team (honorable mention) All-State selection by ''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution''. When he signed his National Letter of Intent in November 2008, Rice was described as a late bloomer.〔 As a senior, he was a Class AAAAA All-state selection (2nd team by ''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution'' and 1st team by the Georgia Sportswriters Association). Rice was ranked as the 13th, 32nd and 35th best high school basketball shooting guard in the country as a senior in 2009 by Rivals.com,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glen Rice )〕 Scout.com,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glen Rice )〕 and ESPN,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glen Rice, Jr. )〕 respectively. His father's alma mater, University of Michigan did not recruit him for their basketball team until after he had already committed to Georgia Tech. Rice, Jr. was part of a Georgia Tech recruiting class that was ranked 21st in the nation and included Derrick Favors. Rice's Georgia Tech biography credits him with leading his high school to a state title in basketball as a senior, but the Georgia High School Association records show that his high school did not win a state championship in any sport during his senior season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Results & Records of State Playoff Events 2008-09 )〕 ''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution'' confirms that his basketball team was eliminated in the second round of the class AAAAA tournament. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glen Rice, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
