A part of Pearl’s original recruiting class at Auburn, Spencer brought rebounding, defense and toughness to the table during his four years with the Tigers.

While 6-foot-8 big man only averaged 4.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game during his senior season, Spencer was a big energy guy off the bench and often came up big for Auburn when they needed him the most.

After Auburn, Spencer signed a pro contract with Atenas Cordoba of the Argentine Liga Nacional de Básquet. Spencer found immediate success in Argentina and in his first season, the Philadelphia native dominated to the tune of 13.7 points and 11.6 rebounds per game.

Like Brown, Spencer has joined several former Tigers on “War Tampa” and is chasing the $1 million prize from The Basketball Tournament.
