Pro career

Despite a very large wingspan for a guard of 6'11" and some very impressive athletic scores at the 2001 NBA pre-draft camp, such as recording the highest no-step vertical jump and the highest maximum vertical jump that have ever been measured at the camp, Gregory went undrafted in the 2001 NBA draft.
