Read this and despair, NBA centers. Anthony Davis is up to 253 pounds after
spending the summer bulking up, according to the Pelicans.

根據鵜鶘隊官方的消息，經過這個夏天的努力，AD的體重已經來到253磅。


Davis came into the league as a can't-miss prospect. The only question mark
surrounding his potential was whether he would be strong enough to handle
bigger players early in his career due to his slight frame. Some of those
concerns remain. They are the reason Omer Asik is a very rich man and why
Alvin Gentry is saying Davis will play power forward "for the most part."




Those doubts will soon be erased if Davis can continue to add weight without
losing his explosiveness. He weighed 222 pounds at the draft combine, which
means he has now added over 30 pounds to his frame since entering the league
while remaining one of the most mobile and athletic big men around.




"He’s lifted a lot more weight," said head strength and conditioning coach
Jason Sumerlin. "He’s stronger than he’s ever been."

「他現在能舉起遠比以前多的重量了。」體能總教練Jason Sumerlin說道。「他現在是前
所未有的強壯。」


With Team USA not having any commitments this summer, Davis had plenty of
time to focus on his body. Not only has he been working on his strength but
also on eating healthy, which has allowed him to maintain 10 percent body
fat. He's been showing off his enthusiasm about his new diet on Instagram.

At his current weight Davis is still not quite ready to bang with the Andrew
Boguts and Dwight Howards of the Western Conference night in and night out.
If he continues down this path, though, he will be an even bigger matchup
nightmare than he is now by being able to force his way inside and take more
shots near the basket, which he sometimes eschews in favor of mid-range
jumpers.




Every summer there are reports about players adding 20 pounds of muscle or a
corner three. In Davis' case, we've now heard both rumors. Typically, it's
better to dismiss them as hype from teams looking to build up expectations
for the upcoming season, rather than developments that will have actual
impacts on players' skill sets. It's entirely possible that's the case with
this news about The Brow.




If he in fact comes back stronger and with more range on his jumper, though,
he will likely be the favorite for MVP and could challenge LeBron James,
Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant for the "best player in the league" title.

如果AD真的能變得更強壯且把投射範圍加大，他將會成為MVP最熱門的人選且能挑戰LBJ、
Curry和KD，拿到「聯盟第一人」的稱號。
