Dante Exum is back and bigger. Already.

[Magic Spray]

As per Tony Jones twitter:

Just saw Dante Exum. He looks noticeably bigger. Looks like he may be pushing 6-7.

TJ answers responses thusly:

Looks bigger physically and taller.

Looks like he's added at least 10 pounds.

Championship!

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

I can't wait until I can officially start making fun of those who have suggested trading him.

 

[Doublea]

Good to see that he's back and working on his game! That vegemite must dhavedon't him wonders!

Man would it be nice to have Stanley Johnson drop to 12. Having a lineup with Exum/Hayward/Johnson/Favors/Gobert would be awesome. We could also go "small ball" with Exum/Hood/Hayward/Johnson/Favors, having the longest "small ball" team ever.

Speaking of vegemite, my favorite Harpring moment of the year was him gagging on vegemite.

I knew that we were going to see this thread, but not so soon. The playoffs aren't even over and he's already gained 10 pounds? He grew an inch in a month? Do you realize how big he's going to be when the season starts if he keeps this rate up? There won't be room on the court for anyone else.

Did he get the same Philippine vitamins that Hayward got last offseason?

I would expect the weight gain as he is young, and probably took a bit of a break from the basketball and cardio. He is bound to gain 15-20 lbs in his first 2 years just because of age. He probably has been growing throughout the year if the 6'7" is true. I personally don't care if he got any taller than 6'6", still plenty tall for a PG.

 

[Stoked]

Nice! Another inch and 10 lbs? If true that's really fast but awesome

 

[SojoDave]

Great, 10 lbs, did he work on his shooting and courage to drive to the hoop?

 

[Carbon13]

Dude is just a kid and still growing.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He probably hasnt worked on much yet. He was probably just lifting and resting until now. I'm sure some of those LB's are just from not playing basketball and eating.

 

[mhindy]

He'll end up a stretch 5 when he grows to 7'3".

 

[framer]

One more inch and 10 pounds will work wonders there. Would be great if he could pull a Paul George and get to 6'9" and fill out his frame. . .

have you worked on putting the past behind you?

 

[Siro]

I can't speak for his height, but if he had gained 10 pounds in a month, it just means he'd been eating his *** off.

Yep.
They didn't specify that it was 10 pounds of muscle.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

If he is actually an inch taller, that isn't just an inch added to his skull. If his frame is still growing, it's not just ten pounds gained from eating a lot.

And where is that additional mass coming from?
