Draft prospect Robert Upshaw flagged for heart condition at combine, could fall to Celtics

We told you a little about potential draft prospect Robert Upshaw back when the Celtics interviewed him at the NBA Draft Combine last month. Upshaw is a 7' tall, 260 pound beast in the low post, who averaged 4.5 blocks per game last year at Washington University before being dismissed from the Huskies for "breaking team rules".

Armed with a ton of upside, there is also plenty of baggage with Upshaw. The dismissal from Washington was his second time being booted off a team in just three years in college. He was also kicked off the Fresno State Bulldogs' team for substance abuse after playing just 22 games in 2012-13 as a freshman.
