Mark weighs 242 pounds at 5.4% body fat. He was the 7th heaviest player in his draft. He's also 7'2 and has a 9'9 wingspan. He is plenty big enough to play in the NBA.

The average center is 247 pounds. https://ballarelife.com/average-weight-of-nba-players-by-position/

We seem to have a good conditioning program (besides Gordon), Nick came in as a twig and is built like a tank now. Same with Cody Martin.

If he's going to flop he could at least not look like a pansy doing it

On a sidenote Duren is far from setting the league on fire on the Pistons which makes me feel better for now.

I'd rather the focus be more on maximizing his mobility and endurance than bulking up much. He needs to get stronger, but he has a pretty good frame and he'll gain strength eventually over time. If hes 242 now then 250ish might be a good long term playing weight.

This team wants to play fast and vertical. They don't need a big Hibbert'esque behemoth always lagging behind the play.

What is the NBA record for number of sprained ankles in a season?

Feel like we've had this issue before too.
