- David Padgett
Louisville centre David Padgett is spending his second season in the LEB Gold, this time with U.B. La Palma. He is rebounding better than ever before, grabbing 7.2 rpg in only 24 mpg, but he's also scoring only 9.2 ppg while fouling 3.4 times. La Palma are exactly middle in the LEB Gold with a .500 record, despite having both Padgett and his former Louisville team mate Juan Palacios, who is averaging 13.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
