Raymond Spalding
A 6-foot-10 forward from Louisville, Raymond Spalding has a decent resume from his time in college. According to NBA.com, Spalding averaged 8.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.04 steals and 1.11 blocks in 100 games at Louisville.
His height is certainly an asset, although he’ll definitely have to add some heft to his 215-pound frame if he wants to make his mark in the NBA.

Considered one of Louisville’s “leading comedians and pranksters,” Spalding nonetheless attributes his improving skill set to getting serious about the game.
“I’m taking it more serious,” Spalding said. “I always took it serious, but I think my passion has grown for it. And I see what I’m able to do, and I know my ability. (I’m) way more confident in myself.”
