Durham looked kinda jacked

[MexicoHusky]

Is it me, or has Durham put on noticeable muscle over the season?

He and Vital are getting some massive shoulders

He's looking a lot less high schoolish and more collegish.

He missed his FT's and air balled a 15 footer. But there is something about this kid that makes me excited about his play that I think many people will see by middle of next season if kid stays healthy.

I'm not sure but when Amida is this lost through out a game, he needs to play more.

Maybe those academic theories aren't so full of bunk after all.

By next year they'll be able to provide really solid directions to the beach

His numbers tonight were 18 min, 4 pts, 1 block, 1 rebound. We really need him to be better against Houston.

Agreed...Put Brimah at the end of the bench. The more Durham plays the more we'll see another Hilton blossom into a great player.

Hopefully the muscle supporting those repaired ACLs is as jacked as the rest of the muscle you are talking about.

"Another Hilton"? Durham was a 5 star prospect. Hilton was barely ranked. Totally different situations.

He is not jacked. He is too skinny for a d1 big man. Kids don't generally put on weight during the season

Muscle
not body weight

I'll take either from Durham he does have frame that looks better to me than facey or brimahs ever did.

They often have trouble putting on muscle, fat, anything during the season because they burn SO many calories in practice and games. They're on the road all the time., too.

It takes a full offseason or more to really gain healthy weight, functional enough to impact play imo. I think this year and next will really be about developing strength and stability for Durham, without compromising that quickness.

He's got gorgeous moves, but just gets bullied underneath because of his lack of strength.

How is this possible with our current strength & conditioning coach.....

Would you want to be "barely ranked" or would you want a torn ACL? Take your pick. My point is not totally different situations if both get PT to play better on the court regardless of their different starting points.
