Upshaw's stock had dropped before the draft, but he was seen as a late first/early 2nd by most. Si.com had him as their 30th best prospect, Chad Ford had him at 33, draftexpress at 45, and nbadraft.net had him 56. I did see Seth Davis' anonymous scout said they wouldn't touch him because of his issues.HuskyInAZ said:

I didn't see it until yesterday but apparently he had some heart issues come up at the combine. While he went lengths to clear his records, i have a feeling both his medical and previous issues caused him to go undrafted.RoadDawg55 said:

Not sure it really matters if he wasn't going in the first round anyhow. Now he gets to choose a team and if he's really as good as his talent shows, he'll be fine in the nba. -
I'll keep it... (GRAA) But yes heart condition and "issues" caused him to miss the combines which had an impact on his draft status causing major slippage. He will stick in LA if he can stay clean and had a real chance in the league. He's better than 3 or 4 of the players drafted in front of him minus the "issues"HuskyInAZ said:

If I am LA brass I'm buying him a sports physiologist and and body guard to . You are getting a lottery pick for free if you can keep him clean and motivated.

Upshaw as an UDFA is a no brainer. Not much of a risk, and if he gets his act together and his medical condition is manageable, he'll be a steal. But with his issues, no way was he going in the 1st round.NeGgaPlEaSe said:

Better prognosticators than you or I had him going in the first until the heart issues popped up.

You didn't know? I'm omnipotent. I long questioned his heart.
Seriously, you are right. LA got a high value UDFA. I'm rooting for the guy who made the first half of the past season of Husky basketball interesting. The fact that he won't have a major pocket full of money can only help his chances of success.
