People were wondering if Capela is noticeably bigger than last season

Meh, would rather see a size comparison of his lower body compared to last year :grin:

But honestly, hopefully he did work on his lower body strength this summer as well so he can hold his own in the paint

 

a true backup center in the making. all he neds to do now is get on the court.

 

no homo

 

Better hairdo than a stupid mohawk

 

Keep in mind that Posture, camera focal length and whether the jersey is tucked in or loose can all give different effects as well. But yes he has gained a little weight as you can see in the face (although lighting can affect that as well)

 

Dwight gave him his shoulders routine...

 

His extra bulk even makes the cut of the jersey look different.

 

Great to see! He is our most important bench guy, in my opinion, because if he can handle it, he will allows Dwight a lot more rest.

Interested to see his lower body strength, or as Bill would say, "Does he have sand in his pants?"

 

He looks exactly the same size... no idea wtf some of you are talking about.

 

He's got nothing on Dorsey.

 

seriously? he is really freaking tall. if he gained 15lbs. that could be 7 or 8 in the lower body and 7 or 8 in the upper body. it's pretty hard to tell when that is spread out over a 7ft body. but 15 lbs. of muscle will do nothing but help him going against centers in the nba.

15lbs is only somewhat noticeable on someone 6ft tall.

 

Exactly what I was thinking, also his stance is a little different, his arms are sticking out more(open), there's not shadows on is forearms and his shirt is tucked which makes him look more muscular.

which makes his right should, looks basically the same except with Howard's hair for some reason. He maybe put on 5 pounds though, 10 pounds max based of the pictures presented in this thread.

If he put on substantial weight it must be in his legs.

 

Where did this 15 lb business come from? He was noticeably scrawny last season and he looks about the same. This is all in response to Dwight's joke. No one would argue that 15 lbs of muscle wouldn't help.

His shoulders are rolled forward in the first picture. It's that combined with the new cut.

 

Looks like he has been doing a lot of chest work.

 

He looks taller.

 

Did he perm and spike his hair, lol?

 

We know he's at his lowest body fat ever so it's clear he put on a good amount of muscle. His shoulders are wider even if you cover the new jersey cut.

You also can't hide the fact that all these people whose job it is to follow/coach NBA players noticed a difference, that doesn't just happen. It's not just one person who said this, like in the summer when one eye witness constitutes a major change in someone's fitness. We've heard it from at least 3 people.

He's also up to 246 from 220 when they drafted him.

In today's NBA, I think he's close to his final weight.

 

People seem to underestimate how difficult it is to put on pure muscle, let alone ONLY muscle as your source of weight gain. I'm reading things like he gained 15lbs and he's at his lowest body fat ever. Lol, get out of here with all of that. Unless he's literally never touched a weight in his life that is highly unlikely.

That said, I totally believe he's bigger and could very easily be in the best shape of his life. Let's just not get carried away with too much number hype.

 

He's one major rreason why i'm soo excited this season.

 

Those shoulders tho
