Defensively, I think he's a lot like Whiteside, especially in terms of how he blocks shots, but he's nothing like Hassan offensively right now. Forgive me, but I don't see the Drummond comparison at all. Andre is the better rebounder (I think), but Upshaw is the far superior shot blocker. The only category in which they're similar is, unfortunately, free throw shooting, lol
. I wouldn't take him at 16, but he might not be there are 33, because Minnesota and Houston pick right before us at the start of the second round, and they both really know how to draft. However, if we were to take Upshaw at 28, the risk is that you're then giving both of those teams a chance to take Tyler Harvey, and they won't pass him up. I could see him going in the first round to San Antonio, Houston, or Chicago, which would royally suck because he'd be great here, imo.
