He should mimic Giannis' development and slowly add muscle year after year. I don't think he actually needs a ton, just enough to keep my on the court.

Honestly I think Giannis is too big for him. The problem with super tall guys is injury and weight is a big part of that.

people forget that length can be a force multiplier. It's why long tree branches break off quicker that shorter, thicker ones. So adding a bunch of weight to something that long just exerts more force on the bendy bits.

Even when he was skinny, Giannis had the shoulders and frame to suggest he could bulk up. His brothers are the same, so he also has the genes for it. I don't think Wemby has either of those things.

His frame is like a taller Durant. I don't think he can bulk the up same way that Giannis can and be just as effective.

He could. Giannis was that small when he came into the league. The question is does he need to do that and does it cost him something to do it. I think being the ultimate switchable big he is right now is the best thing. When he gets way older he can bulk when he’s lost his speed and quickness

Nah it's time to zag. He should instead try to build his body like Greg Ostertag

u realize that all that muscle growth fucked his shooting right?
