Thin Josh

[Huskyforlife]

On Whaleys story throwing down a reverse, clearly has lost tons of weight. Good stuff.

Looks a lot more like Sophomore year Josh. He could definitely be a reliable offensive big for us imo. I don't even think that's a stretch

Looks like he's 230-240 max. Josh Carlton is back

Rough year last year but props to the kid for buying in 100%. When they wanted him to get bigger, he worked his tail off and he’s clearly done the same when the coaching staff asked him to slim down.

Coachable. If Josh is in like this, they're all in. The pieces are there for something fun this year

 

[navery12]

This group of 5 1/2 bigs is going to be so much fun this year. Flexibility to match up with just about any team

i’m gonna off myself if there no season i’m salivating

So he lost 20-30 lbs before June but couldn’t lose any weight over the course of the season??? Whatever, I’m not complaining it’s great news.

If he can play like he did as a sophomore then our ceiling just got that much higher. He’d demand at least 20 mpg along with Sanogo. But that would have to push Whaley to the 4 spot...

Sanogo, Carlton and Whaley each playing 13 mpg at center doesn’t seem like the recipe for success

Word actually did come out that he did drop a good amount of weight over the course of the season. I forget where that came from though.

He looked every bit of 260 during the last game of the season (and if not he was still moving like he was). It’s just curious is all

About a month ago, I was shooting hoops outside near Busby with a buddy, and Josh came and started playing on the other side of the court. Looked to be in much better shape then too- was working on his mid range game and post moves. Looked more mobile than he did earlier this year.

Granted, I think he noticeably slimmed a bit as the 2019-20 season went on.

I disagree. I thought he definitely lost weight during the season. He was listed at 265 when the season started but I’d bet he was around 250/255 by the end. Still moved sluggishly though.

Everyone loses weight during the season, even coaches.

Not all the fans!

Nice...but can he now make a layup?

saying no no not true he lost like 10 lbs during the season is slicing the bologna pretty thin. how can you disagree that it's odd carlton only lost 10 lbs from novmeber through mid march but then proceeded to lose twice that in the following 2 months?

Not following you. You said he wasn’t noticeably different during the season; I said I thought he lost 10-15 pounds, and that may have been without a concerted effort to lose weight until at least January. I don’t think it’s super surprising if he lost another 10 pounds or so since mid March.

I said this during the season; adding 30 pounds was obviously too much but I think 5-10 pounds would’ve been fine. Give me a 240/245 pound Carlton...sophomore Carlton plus 5-10 pounds of good muscle.

Forget layups, can he dunk from a standstill, off an offensive board, or on a lob?

 

[Palatine]

Just a reminder.

Josh averaged 7.8 point and 6.1 rebounds in 21 minutes a game. Over 40 minutes that comes to around 15 points and 12 rebounds per.

I think he made a number of lay ups and even some dunks.

 

[uconngb]

I’d be happier if they spent every day tenderizing his hands so he can handle a post pass.

Agreed!
