Grayson is a 25 game suspension waiting to happen. lol
Said he went from 190 to 230lbs
What a monster

If Grayson is 230, nobody better mess with him. :doi:

There is no way anyone can add 40lb of muscle in a single offseason. These are professional athletes who are already built pretty well. Even a novice can only hope for 3-4 per month. If he has really added 40lb, 30lb of that is fat. My guess is that his listed weight was lower than his actual weight, and he is rounding up when he says he is up to 230 now. Even if he was actually 200LB and is 225 now, that's still concerning. At best, that 15lb of fat. He's gonna be moving like Luka on defense out there at that weight.

The video with Grayson Allen starts at about the 2:01 mark. He has noticeably put on more muscle.

I wish the media had pursued it further.

Man… if there’s any way Bud can help Nurk become a good defender/stretch 5 like he did Brook Lopez’s previously tissue paper soft ass, that would do wonders for this team.

Listening to Mat Ishbia talk about the team gets me pumped up. His video starts at about the 1:50 mark.

There's our guy, Frank Kaminsky.

Kind of presumptuous to say he is back when he is just one of 3 guys competing for one roster spot.

I honestly think Bud is going to be better than we think. He may be the most key addition this summer, even more than Tyus and Monte.
if you are hoping for any real improvement he better be, because in terms of players who will actually get playing time all we have done is replace Gordon with Tyus and Eubanks with Plumlee.

I like Frank Kaminsky. Nothing presumptuous about that, even if he doesn't make the team.

I guess you could take the "our" out if you want to be technical.

I'm just saying, claiming you are back on a training camp tryout is a very bold statement.

I'm not saying that Frank is going to make the team, but he will always be a Sun in my book.

I will say that the coverage of media day has been abysmal. The worst I've seen in a long time.

Bud is saying we're going to shoot more 3s and he's saying Grayson will be coming off the bench - and it all makes sense to me

6'4 230 is professional wrestler territory. Rock was 6'4 240 forever

Grayson kind of acted like the extent of his beefing up and adding muscle wasn't entirely planned. That's why I wished the media would have followed-up even more. I think there is more to the story. Maybe we will find out later.

It's really hard to put on that type of muscle in one off season. I know back in the day, bodybuilders would have been thrilled to have those gains in such a short time. It seems hard to believe he accidentally gained all that muscle.

Yeah, I don't think it was an accident.

LOL "All" we have done? Tyus/Monte are miles better than Gordon, and a stick of gum is better than Eubanks.
They are slightly better, which is an accomplishment considering how limited we are by the 2nd apron. But this team is far from good enough to compete with the elite teams if we play remotely similar to last season.
