Robert Upshaw will be the Lakers first DPOY since...

[Genaro]

Calm down, my man. If he gets to be a good shot blocker coming from the bench it will be already a steal.

[NugzFan]

Nuggets no wonder u mad

Thank you for proving me right.

Keep making laker fans looking stupid.

I just watched some vids and the guy is a legit dekembe mutombo clone..


His sense for where the balls going and how he waits for them to commit before doing the clamp on blocking motion that doesnt result in wild swinging/possible foul calls


Its perfect..

[Baby Arm Johnso]

people acting like he's a bad dude, his parents were addicted to heroin while he was growing up and he never had a regular family life. he didnt start playing basketball until his senior year of high school when he used it as a way to get away from his horrible life at home. this summer he's got a mentor, maybe you've heard of him: Dikembe Mutombo. Dikembe has taken Upshaw under his wing and Upshaw is even living with Dikembe right now. Upshaw is gonna be a crazy defensive player in the NBA

No idea if Upshaw will make it in the pros but huge respect for Mr. Mutombo for all the love he is giving this young man - very cool!

[Mawly-G]

D'Angelo Russell / Jordan Clarkson
Kobe Bryant / Lou Williams
Nick Young
Julius Randle / Brandon Bass / Larry Nance
Roy Hibbert / Robert Upshaw

will surprise people.

Pretty solid lineup with some potential building blocks going into the future. Probably still wont get a playoff berth this year though, unless Russell and Randle surprise everyone and play at damn near all star level.

Please stop showing me our roster.
It's depressing.

And how do you know he is a good dude? Have you ever met him?

[Mirror]

Who? Is this another Summer League overreaction thread? Those always work out so well..

I'm guessing so.
