Hes doing things hes capable of doing. He isnt trying to put the ball on the floor 10 feet from the basket. Hes grabbing boards, running the floor, getting put backs and getting to the line.
And he lost 15 of those 25 pounds he gained over the off-season. Why under Fran? who got Gatens and May lose pounds from the lost lick's years of bulking up and being stronger... how was his weight gain a good idea?Or was he planning to play tight end for Kirk this fall and a future NFL career?
Why wouldn't you want your undersized PF to bulk up? Can't fault Fran and staff for going this direction with Basabe.
Very good to see Mel having fun on the court again. He was beaming all night laughing and smiling on the bench.....
Right now, he should probably continue to come off the bench. Certainlly seemed to work well last night. When he gets even more comfortable with the game, he will, more than likely, start again. Seems that on his good days, he would score early in the game.....

The weight gain was just an excuse. Unless you think he regained the weight again over the previous 5 or 6 games and then lost it again before Minnesota.
Adding muscle weight is never a bad thing for post players. It should not make you slower or less active, it should make you faster and more explosive, especially if it is in the lower body.
McCabe bulked up for this year and it is clearly helping him.
You got it.
