2014-15 Season Highlights: Ricky Ledo


Ricardo Julio "Ricky" Ledo (born September 10, 1992) is an American professional basketball player for Anadolu Efes of the Turkish Basketball Super League and the EuroLeague. He committed to play for the Providence Friars, but the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) ruled him academically ineligible to play during his freshman season in 2012–13. Ledo never played a minute for the Friars that season, and at the end of the year he declared he was entering the 2013 NBA draft.
