Chad Ford: Upshaw's off-the-court issues more serious than initially thought

[LooseCannon]

Chad Ford said himself that outside of the red flags, he's a lottery talent. Now I know Chad Ford isn't perfect, but surely he's credible enough to take seriously.

Chad Ford thought that Royce White was a top ten talent without his mental issues.  I'd guess that Ford thinks that Upshaw's red flags are a bigger concern than White's were.

Get dakari johnson with a second rounder

I'm still high on Upshaw, or as much as I can be. Knowing his record is important but if the celtics chose him IMO they know best and thats what I hope happens. We would also finally get a big guy with length and potential.

Do you trust that the Celtics know best if the team passes over Upshaw twice in the second round and he gets selected somewhere in the 50s?

ya I do. Its a tough pill to swallow though. Upshaw has/had his problems while in college but he is a long big center that can rebound and block shots, maybe even has a better offensive game.

But as of right now he has been cleared for all activities by the docs!!!!!

Royce White arguably was a top ten talent in that draft class.
