Bamba is simply too thin.... and its NOT like Mutombo or Camby thing, where you can see the fibers of muscle on their limbs... Bamba is rake thin... he needs a couple of season getting that muscle development... EAT EAT EAT (correctly)... easiest thing in the world

You can tell what 40-50lb difference can do. Good thing Ayton is probably close to the same weight. I've seen Ayton listed between 250-260lbs and Embiid is probably 260-270lbs.

That's huge and Bamba will never have that type of weight. Embidd is fluffy too. Ayton weight is lean mass. Embiid is gonna slow down quick on the perimeter D with that build. I hope Ayton fills out just a little more, no more than 10-15lbs max. He is big enough and I like his explosiveness.

Is eat eat eat correctly the easiest thing in the world or eat eat eat correctly to gain weight? Eat eat eat correctly to gain weight (I assuming muscle) is tough.

Bulking season in body building (eating 10 to 20 percent more calories) is easiest bit of massing up.

For athletes it's a bit harder because they have to eat correctly or they put fat at a fast rate and it affects their movement. But when I say eat correctly as being easy... It's because they can usually just up their intake of protein and carbs and it would lead to natural progression of body development.

They are also all millionaires and they don't need to be under 7 percent body fat.... That's the hardest bit of body development. Keeping muscle mass but being under 7 percent body fat.

They have the money to buy the top food... Hire too chefs... Have meal preps with them 24 7.

It's easiest bit of being healthy if you have time and money.

It’s different for bigs but I like Booker’s method of not adding significant weight too early. It just seems now like he’s bulking up now. Same with Bender.

Yea its very easy for them to eat right,but to gain weight at 240 plus pounds and do it naturally and clean, while doing all of that cardio?!? I can't imagine. Try eating 1000 clean carbs in one day. 1 cup of rice is 200 calories, 44 carbs. That's 22 cups of rice in one day which is 4400 calories. Throw in 300 grams of protein ( 9 4 oz size chicken breasts) for 1.2 x body weight that's 500 more calories for a total of 4900 calories. Divided by five is 4.4 cups of rice five times and 8 oz of chicken five times per day just to get to 4900 calories. At 240 lbs he has to have a 500 plus calorie count per day to gain 1 lb. a week. In order to carry his weight at 7'1 240 and 20 years old being highly active, he'd have to consume 4452 just to keep his weight. That's a lot of eating..

I can never eat 1000 clean calories in one day every 4 days, let alone every day

He could do it on garbage and look like Chriss though.

Edit: I forgot an hour of full court basketball is 750 calories so he has to eat that too...now he is up to 5700 calories a day..... :lol:

dont have a two hour practice :lol:

Crazy how much rookies get paid these days. Back in the day $11m is a solid, proven starter level player. Not saying Ayton isn't worth it, just the number is a bit of a surprise.

If "Yoga Basketball" is what I think, it's amazing Koko has his big men doing this. Personally I think it will be GREAT for Ayton to learn better balance and footwork on his jump shooting. He always seemed to jump funky while shooting.

Also, I'm not sure if this is the stuff Nash did/coaches, but it sure sounds like it.

I don't think Earl's yoga is quite the same....this is what Ayton is referring to: https://youtu.be/0bUl4ZtIPL8?t=469

I think it's pretty cool how Yoga has become such a big part of Suns basketball over the years. Not sarcastic, genuinely I think much of the general public would fid yoga extremely useful if they gave it a chance as well.
