player. 29. <p>San Antonio could use some depth and youth in their front court. The Spurs have had a history of drafting players who no one else was high on and turning them into something special (think Kawhi Leonard). Robert Upshaw could be their next project that turns out well for them.</p> <p>In college he had some off the court trouble that restricted him from competing in the NCAA for long enough to make an impact. But thinking that all that stuff is behind him, he is just the risky pick that the Spurs would need to back up Duncan and help them in the playoffs. He is a seven-foot, 260-pound center who has the athleticism and post skills necessary to be a presence in the paint. Definitely worth the risk at no. 26 overall.</p>. C. Washington. Robert Upshaw. 26

Next: No. 27: Los Angeles Lakers (via Houston Rockets)
