    I’ve read and heard THT has said he has already lost some weight.

    If my dude just stops eating cheeseburgers, he gon be a player. He’s only 18, but I actually think that’s kind of a bad sign. Melo was light when he got in the league, then he found In and Out and the rest is history.

    On the plus side, he prolly meeting with Raymond Felton and Melo right now about recruitment.

    I’m obviously joking, hope the kid ends up balling out.

    Yup. After drafting twigs in DAR, BI and Lonzo, THT is refreshing. He can always work his way down. Will be harder without Magic there to monitor his BMI.

    Our most boring summer league will be followed by our most exciting season. For the past 5 years it was the opposite. Irony I like.

    So who was the dummy that answered a stress reaction was what Ty Lue gets when he coaches LeBron? ;)

    "Muscle soreness and stiffness can progress during this period, and a pinpoint pain may develop in the area of the sore bone. Stress fractures start as a stress reaction. “A stress reactionor a stress injury happens when the bone starts to swell inside," says Metzl, creator of Runner's World's IronStrength workout.May 13, 2019"

    I'm not familiar with the combine physicals. I'll look into it though. It's possible these guys get xrays but I really wouldn't know. There's simpler ways to check for fractures (more painful ways), but I just wouldn't know their procedures.
