Spalding stepped up his game in 2017-18. He averaged 12.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. He also blocked 1.7 shots per game. Louisville was 8.7 points per 100 possessions better wuth Spalding on the floor. That is making a difference on D. He doesn’t shoot the three-ball very often or very well. He made 6 of 25 in three seasons (24% 3-pt. FG). ...While he improved at the free throw line, he was still just 64% FT in 2017-18. ...Spalding's only offensive position is C. At 6'10", 215 lbs., Spalding will be giving away size in almost every NBA matchup. ...His 7'4.75" wingspan helps him block shots. He also possesses surprising strength for his frame. He has average to below average speed and jumping ability. ...We think Spalding will be selected in the second round.

 

Good Advice: In 2014, the 29th pick in the NBA Draft was Josh Huestis. We advised, "Draft Kyle Anderson."
