Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2792299, member: 1609"] Basketball isn’t a poise off Some of the greatest UConn players in history or all basketball for that matter. have been unimpressive in development. You can be slim but still strong .Those are not mutually exclusive attributes. A optimum combination of strength and quickness is a great mix for a BB player. Also important is the emphasis on skills like shooting,running the floor ,or taking it to the hoop. Even in the NBA that went through the bulky PF era. Strength is necessary but weight is not. That bulky powerhouse was negated by the stretch four who could take it outside and knock down shots .Then when the big brute steps out to guard the mobile guy he simply takes it to the hoop. Finding a guy strong enough to mix it up inside but mobile enough to step out is first prize. Now skinny and weak is another matter like Kenton Facey who was already mature when he arrived here at 20 years old at 6’10”and but only 180. He was a robust 210 by his senior year. Wilson is the same age but is around 6’5” and 180 that’s a slim but certainly not Facey skinny. . Weight also varies significantly with body type. So Wilson optimum weight may be 185,190 or even 200 by the time he leaves . There is a point we’re it becomes a diminishing return . [/QUOTE]
