He's always been this big, but questions do need to be asked about that given the troubles he's seemingly having with the pace of the pitch clock.
tbh, he does look a little bigger. It was the politically correct and perhaps socially responsible move for the team to back Alek when he defended Kirk and when he went toe to toe with Anthony Recker about his own weight..... until it actually might have become a real problem. It might not be the issue, but everyone needs to be willing to take an honest look in the mirror to figure out what's true without any ego or offence.
Another hypothesis is that he gets a little too amped for certain games. Not sure he keeps his mind as well as some other dudes..... Playoffs, season opener, first home series with the renovations and the team really clicking. Then again, this doesn't likely explain his drop in veto.
