And why are white southerners fatter than white Californians (on average)?
1) Diet; 2) Exercise.

Do you think that if jabari parker and andrew wiggins ate the exact same diet and excercised the exact same amount that they would have the same physique and same amount of body fat?
 
My dream for next years team:

Why is everyone making this weight issue so difficult.

Yes genetics plays a part in your weight.

But, it is certainly possible for one to control their weight with proper diet.

Some people just burn fat and calories more efficiently. But everyone burns calories and fat.

End of story.

Probably not. That's why Jabari needs a nutritionist. His body probably reacts very differently to food than wiggins. I would think Jabari would do well with a diet that had lots of fruit and veggies, lean protein and not a lot of carbs. Wiggins could probably eat pizza and donuts and not notice much of a change in physique. He would have more energy with a better diet though.

Agreed.
So there is in fact more to it than just diet and excercise.
Genetics play a role as well

This.

Though i am curious to know what glen davis diet looks like and how much he excersises.

Maybe he has a great diet and exercises a ton but is still overweight.

That wouldn't disprove anything Hack said. Some people metabolism faster than others, period. I actually think everyone is saying the same thing..

So how this ties into jabari.

Myself and some others are worried about jabaris weight and potential to struggle with his weight.

Some people have said "it doesnt matter, he just needs to eat right and excersise and there wont be any problem."

My question is this. Can genetics limit what diet and excersise can do for an individuals body to the point that they will struggle with thier weight no matter what?

Example. If you took the most knowledgable nutritionist in the world and he/she told glen big baby davis what to eat, and glen davis ate exactly what he was told...... and big baby had the best personal trainer in the world and he did everything that the trainer told him to do..... Could big baby ever get to the point that he has a body like jeremy evans?... How about a body like paul george?

I dont think he could..... I think his genetics severly limit how he can sculpt his body. Are jabaris genetics similar?

Smart is bigger, a better defender, is better at getting in the lane and finishing, and he brings a toughness the Jazz need. His drive and dish would be pretty tough to defend because he'll overpower just about all the other point guards and draw help. He's just not a floor spacer right now, but I think he'll eventually be an adequate shooter.

The Jazz need a mismatch, and Smart can provide that at the PG. Combine Smart with a top-5 pick (e.g., Smart & Parker, Smart & Randle, or Smart & Vonleh, etc.) and we're in good shape.

The answer is without a doubt, 100% yes, Glen Davis could look like a Jeremy Evans tooth pick if you limited his calorie intake greatly.

I guarantee Glen Davis just hasn't or isn't trying hard enough to lose weight. It not easy, but definitely possible.
Look at what Perkins did when he put his mind to it.

It actually is kind of crazy to think that it isn't possible to lose weight. The human body weight has to come from somewhere. It isn't just appearing out of nowhere. Ever hear the phrase, you are what you eat? It's 100% true. Your body is built out of everything you eat. One cannot have body weight without eating enough food to sustain mass. It's just not scientifically possible.
