Favs was already in the best shape of his career last season. He's going to be a blocking machine.

The odds of being 270+ pounds and consistently healthy are almost zero in the NBA (I think Locke did a study on this at one point).

This was the weight Favors hovered around when he was having all those nondescript injuries.

Given the choice of a soft, overweight Favors loafing up the court or a possibly too thin Favors I'll take the latter. I see benefits to this... more lift on his jumper, quicker jumping for blocks, getting back on D more quickly and the ability to create havoc when switching onto guards. Also less strain on his back, knees, feet. The negative is that he won't be able to body up his man but that's not his game anyways.

3 and D, baby.

I totally agree, especially since we already know that he is not going to post-up very often.

You would think because they have some international interest (or is promoting interest) that someone would televise the Australia games. Maybe they still will.

The NBL has announced that all NBA games (except one) against Australian teams will be broadcast live on ESPN here, and all of them will be on NBA League Pass.

The not so well kept secret on Jae was that he was out of shape last year - losing his mother and getting traded (on the same day IIRC) put him into a funk for a while and he had to play catch-up all year.

Looking forward to him coming out beast mode this year!

I thought Jae looked fat and often winded last year. This confirms it.

It wasn’t a secret... his offseason was beyond rough and not stiff he could control... dude got traded like the day his mom passed... basketball was understandably not a priority.

He’s refocused now... I felt like he gave us what he had last year and next year will give us more.

Check out Exum's move at 2:00

Exum looks like he has a higher release. And dayum is he smoove. His handle even looks better. I know we all go back and forth but after seeing this I'm higher than ever on Dante. He is so ****ing legit.
 
I didn’t really see a difference in Exum’s handle. This looked like glorified pickup and it looked the same to me basically.

He had a couple of nice dribble drives. The main thing is his shot looks better.

And was it Donovan who said that Dante is much improved over the summer?
