JQ growth spurt this summer

[Bungalow Bill]

Grew an inch and a half and put on 40 lbs. Here's all the updated measurement for this years team.

Noah looks like he's put on some weight but is the same. I guess he lost some baby fat and put on muscle.

Kind of take these lists with a grain of salt, but I do expect JQ to be a beast.

[Majoga]

JQ took all of Stoops' gravy. I'm ok with that.

[Pete Hogwallop]

40 lbs seems like a bit much to me.

[KYWILDCAT41035]

Man JQ is going to be a load in the middle that's for sure!

[Catsrock]

40 lbs seems like a bit much to me.

Agreed. The 255 may well be accurate but if so the 215 likely wasn’t up to date. Wouldn’t be natural to put on that much that quickly.

He’d be the next Ronnie Coleman if he gained that much muscle in such a short span.

Not necessarily, it depends a lot on what kind of weight it is. Remember he's still just 17 or 18 years old now. so he's at the tail end of his growth. Anthony Davis put on a lot of weight right after going pro, but had a lot of his growth happen in one year during high school. He was playing guard till he shot up, that's why he had such good handle. JQ also had a lot of down time after the knee surgery, so hopefully it wasn't bad weight from a kid eating too much when his mobility was limited. That seems to be my problem these days LOL. The height just makes him even more dominant, but I hope the weight is good weight or at least some of it weight that can be partly burned off during conditioning .

Putting on 40 lb of muscle in.a short period of time would be great but very hard to do especially while rehabbing a leg .injury. 40.lb of fat would be very bad but much easier to do.
hope it's muscle he's gaining.

[blueheretic]

If that's a recent photo, he def isn't fat.

[teamchemistry15]

We can't act like JQ gained 40 pounds of fat or 40 pounds of muscle. The kid tore his ACL and couldn't do his regular cardio conditioning, which likely led to some fat being put on. During this time, he was likely lifting a bit heavier than normal, which caused him to gain muscle. I'm not sure if 40 pounds is accurate, but for a kid his size, age, and physical condition I also don't think it's unrealistic. Let's also keep in mind the staff and resources he has for strength and conditioning and nutrition are far greater than the average person, as well.

I am more concerned with Lowe being 6'3 and 170 lb.


Scoot him up to the table and feed him some steak and potatoes..

He trying to be Perry Stevenson or what??

[Pete Hogwallop]

Apparently Quaintance hasn't even been cleared for non-contact work yet. I'm guessing he's going to miss some part of the early season.

[WeWant9]

He at least seems to be running/jumping alright
