Hark definately looked bigger in SL. Looks like the added weight on Harris is muscle because he doesnt "look" like he gained any weight.

I hope Vuc. has improved as much as the other guys. Has anyone heard anything at all about our center? I hope Tobias truly has remained quick through the weight gain. Very flexible player if he has.

More strength for Harkless will translate into more dunks. He's super long.

Well and Im think along the lines of finishing through contact like he did in college.

Read somewhere that Hark has grown a bit taller too.

Maybe Hark can play some PF too! He played some Center in college, didn't he?

He now has to duck his head under the scoreboard and avoid flexing his muscles, so he won't break the Amway Center.

I guess their bigs redshirted or something I cant remember so anyway he was the only one capable of playing the post.

When you are that agile with length that can play probably the best defense on your team, you could be forced to play Center. I was used to defend the post even at 5'11" for stretches just because of my leg strength in keep guys off the block. Once, I was even able to keep a 300lb dude from backing me down. The best one was jumping super high to block the biggest dude on their team who was just killing us in the post. Well, after I blocked it back down the ball bounced off his face and he immediately punched me in the gut and got ejected. I was a hero for that day.

Tobias gonna look enormous

As a professional twice over--an analyst and a therapist--I just could not help it.

are you really an analrapist?

I long for a world where more people get these references. :wink:

Well, nice to see that Hark got a lot stronger this offseason. Or he became a Jedi. Either way, we win.

The Magic trainers are putting some Magic dust on the Flinstone vitamins or the Magic are full of crap when it comes to heights.

I doubt a guy grew an inch in less than 3 months.

Never understood why we use measurements with shoes on. I have different basketball shoes with varying levels of "support" that make me half an inch taller than my regular shoes. I'm sure there are others out there that can give you more of a height boost in the name of support.

FIXED!

I'm not buying that he grew a full inch since late May... dude is 21 years old, not 19. Magic probably trying to boost his profile... or maybe they grew him a neck by fixing his posture. Stoudemire claimed he "grew" an inch last summer by fixing his posture.

That's pretty awesome if true.

I once read Dennis Rodman grew like 6-7 inches from 18 to 19.
