Conor Thomas Grace (born 31 January 1982) is an Irish former professional basketball player. He previously played for the Irish national team.
Grace was born in Dublin, Ireland.
Grace played rugby in high school, as well as soccer, tennis and track, in addition to basketball. At 14 years old, then 6'4", he caught the eye of Irish under-18 basketball coach, John O'Connor, at a camp. This led to him hooking up with UCD Marian to further his development. He later moved to the United States and joined an AAU program. After playing in a tournament in Las Vegas, Grace drew interest from Southern Utah University but they didn't have space to offer a scholarship. He instead went to a prep school in Maine, Bridgton Academy, and committed to Davidson College for the 2001–02 season, a Division I college basketball program.Jump Shots: The long road with Conor Grace In 109 games for the Wildcats over four seasons, Grace averaged 6.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.Conor Grace stats
