Perspective
Grey applied for the 2015 PBA Draft, but his application was voided for not meeting the minimum requirement of D-League games played.[14] He then applied for the 2016 Draft, where he was taken with the 7th pick by the Meralco Bolts.[15]
Meralco Bolts
In his PBA debut, he had 11 points and 4 rebounds in a loss to the Blackwater Elite.[16] He then had a PBA career-high of 24 points against the Phoenix Fuelmasters.[17] He was able to play in the All-Star Game as a member of Gilas, leading them with 19 points against the Luzon All-Stars.[18] His time with Meralco ended when he was traded to Globalport.[19]
Globalport/NorthPort Batang Pier
Grey was among seven players involved in a trade with Meralco, the NLEX Road Warriors, the TNT Katropa, and the GlobalPort Batang Pier.[19]
In his second season, Grey got to start for the Batang Pier when Terrence Romeo was injured, and scored 13 points in a loss to NLEX during the 2017-18 PBA Philippine Cup.[20] He tied his career-high in points against his former team.[21] In the Commissioner's Cup, he scored a conference high of 16 points in a win over the Columbian Dyip.[22] In Game 1 of their quarterfinals series against the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters, he scored 22 points, including a game-winning three from the corner.[23] However, they were eliminated the next game as he only scored 10 points.[24] They didn't make the playoffs for the Governors' Cup, despite making the quarterfinals the previous two conferences.[25]
In the 2019 season, he suffered a torn patellar tendon on his left knee, causing him to miss the rest of that season and the 2020 Philippine Cup.[26][27]
Grey was able to play in the 2021 season before injuring his other patellar tendon.[28]
