He's probably lottery talent underneath all of the baggage. I'm not sure, outside of WCS, there was a game changer defensively on the level of Upshaw last year. Has terrific defensive presence at the rim, great hands, cleans up the boards, and has good touch and awareness at the rim offensively. There's a reason why Washington really collapsed the second they booted him-- he was a *huge* difference maker.

He's obviously not remotely refined offensively, and he's not terribly quick, but that size and strength and skill just isn't going to be found once he's off the board in the draft. Even if you D-League him for a year or two, he's worth the risk. If he can shake his addictions, he can definitely be an 8th man center.
