As the 2015 NBA Draft approaches, we’ll be taking a look at the top prospects in this year’s class to gain a sense of what the Phoenix Suns should do with their pick. Today, we’ll be taking a look at Robert Upshaw.
When it comes to draft candidates, there are none more controversial than Upshaw, a 250-pound center last seen playing for the Washington Huskies. In his second season of collegiate basketball, the seven-footer averaged 10.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and a nation-leading 4.5 blocks per game while shooting nearly 60 percent from the floor.
Helping the Huskies to a surprising 11-0 start to their 2014-15 season, Robert Upshaw is a no-brainer lottery pick based on his talent alone.
