Well, probably he made enough time in the gym toning up his muscles. And I dont see any disadvantage from his body transformation right now as this kid has talent, he can shoot, can do both high post and low post.

Indeed, he is absolutely fittter than before and I don't think wishing Porzingris remain to his slim body is still a good idea because the others are now also evolving. He will fall behind, his body most probably getting crushed by bumping into other's brick wall-body if he didn't change at all Grin

.

Other than that, NBA players nowadays didnt think getting their body buffed will make them become slow. Take Giannis as an example, look how he became even a bigger monster after his body transformation.
Every transformation made by an NBA player always has a corresponding reason, depends on the player how he adjust to his new weight. For me, Its better for the big men to be buffed to have a wider shoulders, which is a very big advantage inside the paint.

Whats interesting about the Mavs is, how will Porzingis and Doncic execute on the offensive end.
Nevertheless, Mavs are still a playoffs contender.

The pressure is on them because I see them right now as the hope and future of Mavs. These two young men should perform great this upcoming season to prove their worth.

True, but I dont expect them to compete in NBA finals, as the Western conference become tougher. I'll give them, probably 3 years if they're still intact then they will have a shot in the finals.
