4-6% is what I've heard as the "essential" minimum %age for men. 7% already puts you below most professional athletes.
He may be off about his own %age. But, if so, it's more likely to be higher than lower.

My understanding (possibly ill informed) is that the "essential minimum" is not a fixed thing. Person to person, body type, etc. And pro athletes are exceptions in so many ways that it's hard to put a number on them. They're probably the ones who flout what a normal person would experience to be a healthy floor. I bet some of these guys are 3% or something sickly like that. They're the freaks among us.

I wouldn't be worried about Yabs putting on weight more so needing to add upper body strength and do more sculpting of his lower body. Signing with Maine and working with the C's staff over the summer should be helpful for his training reg.

See that right there is what worries me. Mickey is pure garbage, and scored almost as much as Nader, who we collectively hope has some ability that he could bring to the Celtics.

Well, I am no expert in the subject either. But I have read a number of times down through the years that that 6-8% range is where the "freaks among us" typically are situated, and that most claims to 2-4% are usually based on questionable calculation methods.
Pretty academic, though - give or take a couple percentage points doesn't change much. Whatever the actual number, Yabs fitness is not comparable to Sully's. I agree with Elrod's general point that his size seems to be basically natural/normal for him.
