He reportedly cut down to 6% body fat. That's toward the low end for pro athletes. He's just a lot bigger person than Crowder, which is saying something.
Here's a report from the fall on that, and he doesn't look heavier now:
The Sharks’ strength program is run by James Scott, a Houston native who previously held a similar role with the Rockets. The team also employs a sports scientist who tracks how factors such as sleep patterns and heart rates can affect performance. The elite setup is an anomaly in the CBA.
After working with Scott for a month — and also often subbing vegetables for greasy foods — Yabusele lost about 10 pounds and lowered his body fat from 9 percent to 6 percent.
In Sunday’s fast-paced matchup against the Rockets, Yabusele played 44 minutes and did not appear fatigued. He was still sprinting in the fourth quarter, when he had 14 points and six rebounds.
“Guerschon just loves working,” Scott said. “He’s the perfect project: young, hungry, talented, gifted.”
