Upside = hoping that he pans out.
I would say assessing a player based on upside is pretty equal to drafting for need. Not the same, but similar. It happens every single year in the MLB draft where half of the first rounders(or more) are high school kids drafted on potential. When all is said and done, a small percentage of them turn out being big time MLBers.
Like I said, not the same, but quite similar.
