    Just pointing out that lots of guys came in fat and got in shape later.......Barkley, Boozer, Zion, lots eventually got in shape......

    You just named guys with NBA-level talent. There is no diet in the world that would give Nix more talent.

    Yes, but we are not comparing talent, we are comparing people out of shape.....many others didn't ever get in shape....Hamilton, Oliver Miller to name two.

    My point is that Nix is not just not just tubby, he's a tubby scrub. You can't diet away being a scrub.

    He might indeed be, I just think he needs somewhere that he can develop, and play within a system to be all he can be, and what that is, I don't know.....but he needs structure - like most 21 year olds do.

    A player with all-NBA talent being out of shape is one thing.

    An undrafted player who can't get in shape will only be picked up by the most desperate teams in the world.

    Mentioning Chuck in reference to Nix has to be one of the shitest posts Ive ever seen. You ever get tired of being wrong?

    Nix being a "player" is a term that should be used loosely. Nix is a fat average dude who gets to play pro sports for some reason. He'll be in the big 3 league draft in a year or two.

    The Timberwolves aren't the most intelligent franchise lol Neither are we so there's that.
