When you think of a 6’10,” 215-pound basketball player, you think of someone aggressive and loud, someone who is vocal and isn’t afraid to let his teammates know when they mess up.
When you meet Suns rookie power forward Ray Spalding, he’s the complete opposite. He carries himself with a calm, quiet demeanor and a smile that brightens every room he walks into. Despite the lack of playing time, you can still see that smile from the bench.
“He shows up to work everyday with a smile, so it’s hard not to root for a guy like that,” Suns point guard Tyler Johnson said.
