its not as if they passed on Towns or Okafor. Winslow was not a top 5 pick.

I'm actually not sure Styles P needs to put on as much weight as others think. His lower body(no mango) is pretty built for someone that age/height. He needs to put up a bit of bulk from his waist up but not like some crazy amount just enough to be able to finish in the lane and challenge consistently in the post. I really don't see him getting that much more built physically at least I hope not

i'm starting to think the same thing. while putting on a few pounds of muscle would be cool, i don't he should be put on too much just to be able to be more of a presence. he's 7'3 and too much weight could end up being a problem in the future. he just needs to work on using what he already has more effectively

I agree his mobility is a strength in itself . He needs to get chiseled more than anything else.

He's 230lbs, that is entirely too light to play PF in the NBA, there are SGs that are close to that.


Long term he needs to get up to around 245-250lbs, if they put on the weight properly it won't be much of an impact on his mobility. Anthony Davis has gained almost 20lbs since entering the league, he's up to 240-245 right now.

weight wouldn't hurt but i still don't think we should start throwing max weight on someone who could still be growing. how he knew to change up his game to better suit okafor showed me it's more mental than physical with kris
