Utter collapse by the D-fenders. They're up only 1 after this quarter. Good opportunity to see some of Upshaw's weaknesses still. He pokes at the...
Missed a "jumper" from the FT line.
Whistled for an illegal screen. Not sure why; he wasn't moving, and I didn't see a 'bow.
Upshaw had the ball poked away, but he recovered it. Something he'll have to work on.
Just like in preseason, Upshaw screens really high sometimes - like at the three point line. I'm not sure we need him all the way out there....
Called for a foul on a shot block - bench didn't like the call.
One thing a player won't build in the d-league is communication ability with the Lakers. He's starting to talk to his guards a bit - mostly after...
Gave up his dribble a bit early, passed to a G. The G drove and got fouled, but Upshaw had already followed and grabbed the board. I'm digging...
Upshaw goaltends on a big block. Haha.
D-fenders up 9. Santa Cruz goes small because of the size of Upshaw.
Upshaw at the half: 8 minutes, 2-3 FG, 2-2 FT, 6 points, 4 boards (1 offensive), 2 blocks, 1 steal, 1 TO, and a team high +11 +/-.
Altered a running layup just before the half.
Block by Upshaw. Foolish guard tried to drive on him; he blocked him without leaving his feet.
Checked in at 1:12 left in the first half - immediately closed on a G and forced a really high arcing shot that missed.
Some things I'm looking for from Upshaw - boxing out, going after the board, bodying up on defense. He's going after rebounds more actively,...
Missed the first Q, but Upshaw has 6 points, 3 boards, and a block in the first quarter. 2-2 shooting, 2-2 FTs. Five minutes.
Irish move to 9-1. Boston College next week.
Of course! He does in the video I posted. :)
I want to see what Upshaw can do in the D-league. In particular, I want to see how much scoring and hustle he can generate. He was abysmal at...
