Lakers Just Got Commitment From 7 Foot Center That's Actually Better Than Karl Towns

[Koolaid_Man]

Numbers dont lie...Robert Upshaw now on our Summer League squad is a FUCKING BEAST...if we can keep him off that weed. This is literally a top 4 pick...maybe top 3...

Robert Upshaw is a 7-foot, shot-blocking savant.The 21-year-old averaged 10.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 blocks over 19 games with the Huskies this season.Standing 7-0, with a 7-4 wingspan and a 264 pound frame, accumulated 85 blocks and was the nation's leading rim-protector.

Upshaw's best attribute from a NBA standpoint is undoubtedly his ability to protect the basket. His terrific length, mobility and instincts helped him emerge as a terrific weakside presence, blocking an outstanding 7 shots per-40 minutes in his 19 games at Washington, which ranks #1 in all of college basketball by a good margin. Look no further than the drop-off the Huskies suffered once he was booted off the squad to understand what his presence meant to them defensively.

Washington was 0.07 points per possession better (0.97 compared with 1.04) with him on the floor this season, while opposing teams shot 38.5% from 2-point range with him patrolling the lane, and 49.7% when he wasn't on the court.

I keep telling people here that if this nigga Upshaw gets his head outta his ass, he'll be a steal. Dude is lengthy and loves playing defense. He has Gobert ceiling.

I'll be surprised if he makes it past Summer League. If he does, then bonus.

Bitch please once yall lost..you lost...you're only weaker now...you got Manu, Tam, and Parker talking retirement...tbh the Spurs future look weak...even if you land LMA you fellas have 1 foot in the grave while the Lakers are literally building on the fly....you should feel bad about that shitty old and boring team...

Thanx 4 posting that....

Thanx 4 posting that....He's better than Sacre already. He'll make the squad. I just hope Mitch gives him the Dez Bryant treatment to keep him on the straight and narrow until he matures as a man.

yeah he clearly has a 7-9 wingspan :lol

Agree..Bill Walton has invited him to spend time at his house..so Bill is mentoring him....i will let this speak for itself..because its clear if he can stay away from weed...he's a better player and has more upside than Karl Towns and Okafer...his numbers don't lie..

Dont be fooled the only thing that kept him outta the draft was his drug use history....dont fuck around and let that make you believe he's not a top 3-4 draft pick....if he gets his head right the Lakers will be the luckiest muthafuckers alive...

Mitch did good this year...hopefully now he can add LMA and Tobias Harris and we're good...

you've been in the lottery for the last 2 years and wont' be in the playoffs next year either. that's not "rebuilding on the fly" :lmao

Say what u wish..but we shall see...i know it will take time to fully develop but we clearly got the 2 best players in all of college basketball....D'Angelo at PG and Robert Upshaw at Center....then we added Nance Jr...aka Baby Rodman...

Mitch done good thus far...very improbable picks...

[DPG21920]

Dude, this league is so rigged! Of course LA lands this beast.

This team should be competiting for a title. Kobe has all the help in the world. Russell. LaMarcus Aldridge. A better Towns. An engaged and enraged Randle. A future all-star in Clarkson. That lineup is stacked and if Kobe can't at least make a WCF run with that squad and talent, wow.

Whoa...slow down Deepy....I know what your doing but it wont work....we're going to apply the same standard Spur fan along with ESPiN did for Lebronze during the finals...Deal? Ok cool..so just like with Lebron if he takes that team to a finals victory he and he alone would have gotten ALL the credit....but if they lost then he gets none of the blame...we shall apply that same logic to Kobe...deal? :lol

[DPG21920]

Sort of - difference is Lebron didn't have the number 1 and 2 picks plus LMA on his team in the finals. Lebron wasn't expected to make it once Love and Kyrie and Anderson went down.

But he gets the pre-injury to teammates Lebron treatment where he's expected to win.

[Bynumite]

Why's that dude undrafted with those stats?

But.....he is the best player in the world as he said....he makes teammates better as ESPN said...he had Tristan Thompson the best offensive rebounder in the league....and he had Mozdog the best center in the East and the best bigman during the finals....so save your excuses and apply the same its not Lebrons fault to Kobe....deal? :lol

[Koolaid_Man]

Why's that dude undrafted with those stats?


Marijuana.....got kicked off two college teams but the reality is no one could fuck with him....Mitch pulled a Dr. Jerry Buss on everyone this time and took a chance on the kid...if he stays away from the weed (and let Bill Walton) keep mentoring him he's the steal of the crntury....

[DPG21920]

Nope. But if Kobe doesn't make it to the finals with all this talent, his legacy nose dives. It's already barely hanging on by a tendon.

[Infinite_limit]

SUPER BOWL!

****yawn*****

[DPG21920]

So you don't think getting Russell, a better Towns, Randle, Clarkson and Lamarcus Aldridge is enough to compete in the West??

[Koolaid_Man]

Add Tobias Harris and then yes :lol

[Bynumite]

Can't be worse than coming off a championship and losing in the 1st round to the clippers.

[DPG21920]

:lmao add another near all star? Damn, how much can LA stack the deck??? Kobe won't even have to play for that team to win it all

[DPG21920]

Can't be worse than coming off a championship and losing in the 1st round to the clippers.

That literally doesn't make any sense.

[Franklin]

Nigga has to be a top3 pick, otherwise he would most likely join another team (like Philly).

[Koolaid_Man]

:lmao add another near all star? Damn, how much can LA stack the deck??? Kobe won't even have to play for that team to win it all

Tobias is not near allstar..stop overrreacting in a jealous hissy fit deepy....however Manu cant guard him and Kiwi fruit cancels him out....

[Bynumite]

That literally doesn't make any sense.

How does a team continue to defend their title so poorly? Doesn't make sense to me either.

[DPG21920]

But that doesn't make any sense ^

[Koolaid_Man]

Nigga has to be a top3 pick, otherwise he would most likely join another team (like Philly).

The reality is he went undrafted bcuz of drug issues....fact is he's the best big man coming out of college....just not disciplined like millions of Americans when it comes to the weed....

We got him and Russell...that's a hell of a draft tbh

[Koolaid_Man]

DPG knows Upshaw can be special thats why he's in here acting all bitchy...lil nigga irritated :lol

[DPG21920]

I just said kudos to LA and Kobe. They went from lottery to contender in one off season. I don't know how they landed Towns v.2, Russell, Aldridge, DMC, Love & Tobias Harris with Kobe's deal on the books. Incredible job by the Lakers FO.

LMA is not a done deal...wait before you celebrate with us..ok lil nigga?

[DeadlyDynasty]

But that doesn't make any sense ^
Makes perfect sense to me

[AlexJones]

:lol Bynumite should be banned from posting about the Spurs tbh

[DPG21920]

Makes perfect sense to me

Not like this

[spurraider21]

if kobe can't win with this... serious shitstain to his legacy

That literally doesn't make any sense.

But, it does have a ring of truth to it.

Precisely. This team is twice as stacked that Cavs team we just saw in the Finals. Here comes 6>5, easy. Unless their plane hits the mountainside. NB:lol = Fucked!

:depressed

[Silver&Black]

Lakers Fan should be getting in on this free money.

They're obviously the favorites now...but some betting sites have them at 33:1.

He's more of a Shaq + Duncan + Malone + Kareem tbh

You do realize he's restricted, right?

Only way you can get him is to max him and that puts you out of the LMA sweepstakes.

Fucking retard.

If upshaw was great in summer league but sucked when it counts, does that mean than Russell sucking in summer league will lead to him being a great PG? Or maybe Russell will suck even more when it counts?
