We could start a betting pool on this, only problem is that I don't see anyone topping Boris. We'd have to exclude him and name it "The Boris Diaw Lockout Weight Pool". If we make one for the whole league, I have a gut feeling that Felton might win it.

Re: training camp: starts Dec 9th

Re: training camp: starts Dec 9th
Felts has really looked beefy the last season and a half hasn't he? Curious to see if Melo, Baron, Pierce, Blatche, packed on the weight.
Also, How much do you want to bet DJ ate himself under the table in depression since the Kemba pick?

Lol.
I'd say he'd be up there too. Baron Davis might be big too.
I bet Eddy Curry lost the most though.

Re: training camp: starts Dec 9th
Typically, NBA players assemble in the weeks leading up to training camp for pickup games. Players can show up at Time Warner Cable Arena today for workouts or physical therapy, but coaches are not yet cleared to supervise or monitor workouts.

Amazing how much bigger Biz looks (taller, wider and longer) than T2.

I'm sure they were cherry picking, but DAMN he looked good. Even the form on his jumper looked true! Not to mention the MJ palm at 1:03
Is really small. It'll be interesting to see if he can be durable in the long run
His jumper seems more vertical to me. Still uses a ton of elbow in his shot, which sucks, but he looked good overall

Would u say that Bismack is about 6'10 now? since TT is listed at 6'10
Disappointing that DJ isn't out there, I guess he really is getting traded

I noticed that too, how tall do you think Kemba is?

In shoes, Bismack measured 6'9.5
In shoes, Tyrus measured 6'8.25
So Bismack should look taller. Tyrus is actually pretty short when you think about it (6'7 and change barefoot)

That was during the draft combine, I think that hes closer to 6'10 now, I may be wrong, but I know 2k has him listed as 6'10

Re: training camp: starts Dec 9th
We'll they have him at 5'11.5 and 6'1 so he's not tall right off the bat, but I think his relatively short arms hurt his cause a bit
And you know teams/the league give a lot of guys extra inches. There's no way AI was 6'1 like they had him listed. I think Tyrus may have grown an inch or so, and Bismack may grow a bit when all is said and done, but I don't think either is that tall

Interesting. Might try to catch the game in Atlanta. I'm sure the ticket prices will be dirt cheap.

Looks like Sherron Collins is the new ballboy. Look at that pudgy guy, whoever he is.
Cory Higgins doesn't seem that bad. I don't know if he's NBA caliber but he can't be worse than the number of third guards we've had over the past few years (except for Acie Law, a total beast that was underutilized
