You guys are acting like he is shaped like a Pizza.:dahell: He can lose a cool 20 lbs with the best nutritionist and be alright.

Usually only a few players that come into the league overweight have actually done that, but you can still produce as an overweight guy, shaq, big baby, jabari, etc come to mind, but they struggled with weight their whole careers. Jared sullinger too. Coming into the league underweight is a better problem to have.

It's not impossible for him to lose weight or produce but it's still something to be concerned about. It's hard to develop the habits you need to keep that weight in check.

That's true however I don't think he had a certain protocol to follow. With a step up in competition he will have personal chefs , massage therapists, nutritionist and trainers he should be able to develop as a healthy player. If he has the right people around him and a great mentor like LeBron or someone he will be just fine. But at the end of the day.... It's all up to him.
