Following potential 2015 draftees

Totally random but a bunch of "insiders" keep referring to stuff that they heard about Robert Upshaw that they will not share. One guy said I don't know how you draft him at all (trying to remember who... may have been Steve Kyler). This guy must have something more going on than just substance abuse issues. It's weird that no one will spill the beans though.

The podcast on RealGM with the CBS writer said that they "can't" talk about it on air. Whatever it is, they think it's enough to keep him out of a first-round commitment.

I heard someone else... Can't remember who... That said they did not want to be the person to reveal it. I don't think it's just weed like bill Walton and others on the board have said.

Failed drug tests are apparently part of it. It might not be just weed. I'm not hearing about criminal charges or anything. It might be the crowd he once hung out with.
 
Captain Obvious: One of these guys is almost certainly available at 12. And if they're not, it means someone else highly regarded dropped--

Johnson, Turner, Oubre, Kaminsky

I'm more or less comfortable with any of them. I still think Portis and possibly Lyles deserve to be part of that discussion. I'm not quite feeling it on Dekker and Booker.

I'm thinking its worse than that... otherwise guys would say he ran around with the wrong guys vs. I can't talk about it. Who knows... just found it interesting. Maybe some of them found out he tested for something much harder than weed and they weren't supposed to know.

Wish they were able to publish composite analytical models rankings over the past several years. Would be interesting to see whether averaging those models out led to better/worse/just different results from either any particular model or the actual draft orders.

This would be nice... some of the guys had posted prior year results which was helpful and in some cases made me discount their model a bit.

His release is extremely low on those spot up 3s.

The release is quick enough, I think. And his defender will probably have to give him an extra couple of inches just in case Stanley puts his body on him while attacking a close out.

SJ solidly at the top of my draft wish list.
