    let me get that.


    X is in the best shape of his life.
    Y is looking like he can really break out this year, and is the talk of camp.
    Z has been working on his handles, and is much improved.
    A,B,C and D all put on 20 pounds ofmuscle.

    Don't forget F has been a little slow, but that is just his recovering from surgery and should be full speed come the season!

    MCM says that he wants his players to play a faster pace this season.

    Any word on pounds of muscle they've each added? Barton's gotta be up to 220 by now.

    About 3 years ago, Quick reported from Pritchard that Aldridge had gained 15 pounds of solid muscle. The board was breathless all summer. I wasn't, because I knew that Aldridge's problems are in his head and small nondribbling hands, not in his muscles.

    So he shows up to camp looking identical to how he looked last time we had seen him. Excuses evolve, and eventually this is the conventional wisdom from Oregonian/Pritchard defenders: It was true that he gained 15 pounds of solid muscle in July, but then he lost it in August or September.
