Dallas Mavericks: Ray Spalding will be ready for the NBA

Even the biggest Dallas Mavericks fans may have forgotten about Ray Spalding. It is fine if you did. The Mavericks stashed him on their G-League affiliate, the Texas Legends, to start the season.

That had nothing to do with Spalding’s talent, though. It had more to do with a crowded frontcourt that includes DeAndre Jordan, Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell, and (eventually) Dirk Nowitzki. That’s a difficult rotation to crack with a team that plays with two and sometimes even three point guards on the floor.

That’s not to say that Ray Spalding isn’t a project.
