Message: [QUOTE="Fatroony5, post: 3441629, member: 10323"] James will get stronger in the offseason, it’s a top priority for him and the staff. Much less worried about “will he be 195 by next season” and more just about overall strength even if it means he’s “only 180.”. I posted an article last week about this. Sal doesn’t really worry much about what his weight on the scale is. Way more about adding strength, quickness, explosiveness, etc so he can attack the basket and finish at the rim better/take bumps/hold up in defense. Lamb is listed at 180 currently. So thinking JB needs to add 20 lbs in an offseason is off base. Some guys don’t respond well to added weight, especially that quickly. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’d be shocked if he comes in that heavy for next season. He’s a smooth, long, explosive athlete. Following a similar trajectory to guys like Lamb, Rip, SGA etc etc makes some sense. [/QUOTE]
