Robert Upshaw: 'I know that I'll be a Laker'
Why is the undrafted big man so confident he will make the Lakers' final roster?
Since it was announced that he had been added to the Los Angeles Lakers' Las Vegas Summer League roster, Robert Upshaw is a name that has inspired a lot of excitement among hardcord fans of the team. The undrafted center showed both his potential and potential drawbacks in Las Vegas, receiving high praise at one point from Summer League head coach Mark Madsen, who said "When you think about a true five-man, who can get in the middle of the paint, who can block a shot, who can rebound, who can really get out there and change the complexion and the flow, Robert Upshaw can do that."
