Pics coming out, reveal much more muscular team than we have seen in the past.

Muscles are nice. Look nice. I want players that can hit wide open shots and free throws. I don’t care if they’re poster boys for bean poles, or Hefty paper towels.

We definitely need shooters but we’ve been way undersized in the brawn department for the better part of a decade. Happy to see some guys that can bang with the best of em.

I thought we had decent size last year. Give me a skinny guy with a stroke and we’ll be better

I almost mentioned Robert Earl instead of using the bean pole reference, but thought 99% here wouldn’t know who I was talking about. :laughing:

And you might be right!

First kid I ever saw using a 'shooting glove".

Did a search on Robert Earl Blue and reminded that he scored 37 in his varsity debut for the Niners.

All basketball players were less muscular during that era. Off topic, I certainly hope Blue is alive and well.

Hmm… :thinking:
