Please people. We drafted him in June? He had Labrum surgery in May. So from May- July/August. He could have had his arm immobilized. To be a guy of that build not being able to exercise in any way tends to put on weight. Ask Sean Kemp he didn't need anything but the depressive void of Child Support. This guy had a legit reason he could NOT run. Could NOT work out. Then when you aren't immobilized (no clue his timeline) it's still about 4 months before you're "cleared". I am sorry he did nothing wrong. He probably busted his ass as he could've just waited til the All Star break when he probably finally felt right. As it's an injury that even when cleared for everything your arm just feels wrong for a long time and you nurse it.
Put it on his handlers. The kid should not have played until his weight was back where he's comfortable and he was comfortable in practice. I GUARANTEE you he was not in November, and how he played didn't help.
And getting water? Yeah it was probably the first time he could run. You can't run/use a bike when immobilized and really shouldn't when they take the cast off (well not hard cast). So all the exercise facilities in the world don't mean anything when your left arm is atrophied beyond recognition and before that when you can just look at them and sit around taking pain killers and icing.
