How has the much hyped undrafted free agent performed through the first leg of Summer League?
LAS VEGAS -- The Los Angeles Lakers came to Las Vegas to gamble on Robert Upshaw's potential, and so far they're just beating the house. Over three games in Vegas, Upshaw has demonstrated both the tantalizing length and shot-altering abilities that originally had him slotted into many mock drafts as a lottery pick; mixed in with reminders that he is still a raw player.
In twelve minutes against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Upshaw mostly acquitted himself well. He looked noticeably tired at points as he works his way into NBA shape, but in his short stints Minnesota's guards were terrified to venture into the paint, where Robert blocked three shots in addition to the ones he simply affected or deterred altogether.
