    That's pretty awesome. I was hoping we bought a pick near the end of the draft for Upshaw. Glad to see he was on Mitch's radar. Could very easily see him making the team.

    I figured he'd go undrafted.

    But it's nice to see we're giving him a chance and he's willing to put in the effort to show his value.

    Keep it real Upshaw, and you might be our backup center.

    Would love that

    Every report i read said he'd be a lottery pick if it wasnt for his disciplinary issues

    WOW. Those are two GREAT hauls for the Summer League. Upshaw has his entire future laid out in front of him starting in what a week or so? If Upshaw shines he may end up being our STARTING center... there's absolutely room for a rim protector on our squad right now. He needs to get his head on straight though. I head there were a dozen red flags on this kid in interviews, history, and even injury problems. Good luck to him.

    Brandon Ashley is a kid I actually like too. I'm not sure there's room for what he brings, but I like him a lot. Our roster though is going to be something awesome for Summer League...

    Russell
    Clarkson/J Brown
    A. Brown/Nance
    Randle/Ashley
    Black/ Upshaw

    Wouldn't be surprised if Buycks gets a call to come in for that backup PG spot.

    Probably no playing time for the summer league team. But they can invite him to training camp!

    I wish Upshaw well. It's a really a tall order for him to rectify his personal issues. If he does, he could neutralize all big men in the league for us.

    The talent is there

    His behavior ruined his draft stock let's hope he takes advantage of this golden opportunity because it would help him and it would ve a blessing for us

    LOL.

    Our summer league team is basically our season team...kind of pretty sad.

    I remember 10 years ago when I knew nobody on our summer league team. Now the summer league team is supposed to take us to the post season.
