looks exactly the same to me.

Really? Because his trimming down is pretty apparent. You think he looks out of shape in the bottom pic?

It's even more apparent in the way he's playing. He's now scored double-figures in four of his last seven games, and had 19 points and 11 rebounds tonight on 6-9 shooting and 3-3 from three.

He is looking good.

[chosen_one6]

His head looks smaller. No homo

[Meticode]

looks exactly the same to me.
He's lost 10-20 pounds since starting the season. You can tell by watching the games and his mobility and how he looks. Plus you can see more definition.

[oarabbus]

Is he gonna get consistent rotation minutes at this point? I need to know for Fantasy purposes :lol

One you lose 15 lbs it becomes visible. It is very evident from these pictures from the start of the season until now that he has lost quite a bit of weight. I don't see how anyone else can't see it.

You see differently

[JimmyMcAdocious]

The bottom and top pic look the same to me too, other than the longer haircut.

Middle, tho. That is one fatass.

[Meticode]

That second picture is Glen Davis-esque.

[RedBlackAttack]

He's averaging over 20 minutes a game in the last 7. That number would be higher if not for foul trouble in the game before last.

He's now established himself as a major piece off the bench. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the starting PF in the second half of the season.

In short, don't worry about his minutes. He's established as one of the better players on the team already and I expect him to get better as the season goes along.

This is the best picture I think that illustrates your point. Andrew Bynum is a true size center. 7'1", 280-ish pounds. In this picture I'm betting he's more closer to 290. Bennett's shoulders are just as wide, if not wider. He definitely has the build for the PF spot. Sure he's 6'7", but his wing-span is 7'1". He has the tools and frame, just needs to put in the work.

Bynum was asked if he worked out at all between when he got traded to when he signed with Indiana 6 weeks later and Bynum's reply was, "Not really."

[BrownEye007]

You can tell he's conditioned better by watching him in the games but I never really thought he looked fat...

I'm tired of all the sarcasm.

[Meticode]

I'm sure him being overweight didn't help his asthma or sleep apnea either.

I agree that the impact his being out-of-shape was making at the beginning of the season was overblown because it was just a handy way for people to make fun of him.

More important to his rough start were the lack of minutes, lack of confidence, trying to adjust to the speed of the game, Brown's insistence that he play SF when he's clearly not a SF, and the whole team being a mess in general.

The extra weight definitely didn't help, but I think if he would have gone to a franchise that didn't care about its win/loss record this year with a coach who played him at the 4 and didn't care if he made some mistakes, his play would have improved almost immediately.

Thankfully, it doesn't look like all that garbage that he had to deal with at the beginning of his career hurt his confidence longterm. He looks unafraid right now, which is a huge step in the right direction.

I think he's going to end up top 3 in this class. He obviously has a lot to prove still but I agree that one of his biggest struggles has been a simple lack of confidence. Having found some I think he'll continue to play decent and he's gonna be a really nice player a few years down the line. Oladipo and Noel are the only two I see ending up better. And I'm almost certain the people labeling him the worst bust ever already are going to look like idiots.

Can never understand how any player can get out of shape.

Can never understand how any player can get out of shape.

Injury leads to inactivity. Add in youthful ignorance and bad eating habits due to the thousands of calories you usually burn playing ball and it's understandable.

Are you Clippsfan86 reincarnated as a Cavs blowhard?

We don't see a difference. He's still fat. The Cavs are an absolute mess as well. Stop hyping Kyrie, he's a worse version of Stephon Marbury

i really gotta disagree with the way you are painting that picture.. AB has only played a handful of minutes at SF and it seemed to only be done as a way to get him some more burn. The vast majority of the time he's at the 4 spot.

And frankly, i'm glad he plays for a coach who cares about those rookie mistakes. Kyrie Irving said it himself during the exclusive with Jason Llyod; that he wasn't held accountable the past two seasons and he's struggling to adjust to being accountable now. I think it's a philosophical debate with no real right answer and it depends from player to player, but there is something to bringing guys around slowly rather than throwing them in the fire.

[KyrieTheFuture]

AB might be the strongest/largest 3 shooter I've ever seen. Dude has such a weird athleticism too it's pure strength.

[HomieWeMajor]

He changed his uniform ? :confusedshrug:

he has an very unusual body type for the type of skills he has. If he puts it together he could be very difficult to handle.
