The conundrum of college and professional sports

Yes, Robert Upshaw was dismissed from the team by Washington Coach Lorenzo Romar some time back. This after suspensions and ultimately a departure from Fresno State. ESPN is describing both situations as drug-related.

But...

Below are tweets from Jonathan Givony/Draft Express:

"There were serious concerns about Robert Upshaw's background and off-court history even before he was dismissed by Washington today."

and

"Thing is, long and mobile 7-footers who block shots and aren't clueless offensively don't grow on trees. Robert Upsaw is one talented dude."

and

"People won't like hearing this so soon after being dismissed, but someone will draft Robert Upshaw, maybe really high still. Up to him really."

Not many NBA draft eligibles can do what Upshaw does on the court. Even if he can't be counted on, someone in an NBA front office will certainly bite.
