Who is this guy?





* Yes, I know that we do this every year, but this isn't the first pic this offseason that shows a different player than we've seen before.

BRB, I'm going to make some MVP bets.

He looks great. Gotta be tired of hearing and reading the fat jokes. Bring on training camp!

Nah, he thinks that Zion is still way too heavy. If he's a pound over 235, he's obese.

Looks like he has been hitting that treadmill hard.

Holy shite! That doesn’t even look real.

I’m not one to care much about these fat or in better shape pictures, but that’s without a doubt the first one that stands out.


I’ve been ready with my bets.

I hate to be that guy, but he actually looks like he lost a bit too much weight if we were planning to play him some at the 5.

Regardless, I'm super curious to see him play with that kind of frame. He's still a physical freak, and will still be heavier than most any player in the league.

How did he put on 20lbs of muscle on the same day?

Camera distorts the people towards the edges of the frame. I saw multiple pictures and videos. He looks great

Zion has been putting in that work. A faster Z with more hops and stamina is going to be a problem

Here’s video, he looks great. Whatever he is doing he has stuck with it all summer.

I've never said he's fat or obese. I just don't believe he's optimized or in his prime shape. I'm super excited if he's dedicated to being in the best shape he can get into. I go way lower than most (cause I think he's miscast as a big), but I think we all agree that 250#s should be as high as he goes.

I'd still love to see training videos with him, especially as they adjust to the new lineup. I never like pictures that we see of him, as they are always baggy clothing that leaves you guessing. He is leaving a ton of money on the table, by not going super hard into training and supplements. He could get tons of endorsements just by highlighting a physical transformation. He could have his own line and everything. So much potential..

Zion looks 190 in that photo.

Dude might’ve gotten the message and has been taking care of his body.

That's simply not possible. Even at Duke, him looking skinny was 265. I want to say he's somewhere between 265-270 right now.
