Several NBA executives are reportedly avoiding drafting Robert Upshaw in the first round, according to Sports Illustrated.
Upshaw was dismissed from the Fresno State basketball team for drug violations before being dismissed from the Washington team in January, so those red flags will be tough to shake. Despite being a physical specimen as a legitimate seven-footer with a 7'5" wingspan, there is a chance he falls out of the first round entirely so he's not owed guaranteed money. If Fab Melo can be a first-round pick, we're not betting against Upshaw. May 18 - 10:18 AM
