18. <p>Had it not been for getting kicked off two teams, Robert Upshaw would be taken a lot higher. He’s massive, and a great shot blocker, and even though he isn’t incredibly quick, he’s still massive.</p> <p>He could be the rim protector that Boston needs, and Brad Stevens might be able to straighten him out. He has great potential if he is willing to work hard and keep a level head, and he would fit into the gritty, edgy, defense-first mindset that is being built in Boston.</p> <p>Upshaw could anchor the middle and present a great inside threat that guys like Zeller and Olynyk just don’t have. His size would make him more than able to handle most guys down low, and he really doesn’t play outside of himself, which is very good for a somewhat unskilled offensive player.</p>. C. Washington. Robert Upshaw. 28. player
