    When Joel was with the Bucks and Hawks they wanted him to bulk up for the Shaq's of the world. He played at 270-275 lbs and that took away his mobility and leaping ability.

    Coming to Portland they wanted him to be lean and quick. He has since trimmed down into the 245-250 range.

    I think Greg should take note of this. Some players in the League have bulked up too much and that has basically turned them into slow mechanical robots. Darko Milicic is pushing 280 lbs. I can see him having a Joel Przybilla type of turnaround if he trimmed down into the 240 range.

    If anyone has watched 'Before they were Blazers' on CSNW, Greg at Ohio State (250 range) he looked awesome at that weight.
