Raymond "Ray" Willis Jr. (born September 13, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for the Gladstone Port City Power of the Queensland Basketball League (QBL). The 6'6" guard played college basketball for the University of Oklahoma and North Carolina Central University before playing professionally in Israel, Finland, Australia and Sweden.
For the first three years of his high school career, Willis attended Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, Florida where he averaged 18 points and eight rebounds per game as a junior in 2006–07, while earning first-team All-Metro Conference and second-team All-Central Florida honors.
During the summer of 2007, Willis transferred to Westlake High School in Atlanta, Georgia and later signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for the University of Oklahoma in November 2007.
As a senior in 2007–08 playing for Westlake, Willis averaged 27.5 points, seven rebounds and five assists per game. He subsequently earned first-team Class AAAA all-state honors and was ranked No. 61 in the 2008 recruiting class by Scout.com and No. 109 by Rivals.com.
On August 31, 2008, prior to the start of his freshman season at Oklahoma, Willis was admitted to hospital with multiple stab wounds he sustained in a nightclub altercation. Luckily, Willis recovered in time for the start of the 2008–09 season and was able to play in his team's season opening win over American University, appearing in just six minutes off the bench. However, his freshman season was cut short after he was suspended from the team on February 8, 2009 after he was arrested the day before for driving under the influence of alcohol. He appeared in just two of the team's final 16 games of the season, both of which were NCAA Tournament games. In those 16 games, he averaged 3.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per game.
