Welcome back Julian!

It’s a known fact that large muscles in your arms can not help rather they can hinder your outside shooting. Now if your a post player that is another story

There are guys in the NBA who have larger muscles than others and are good outside shooters.  The key is when in the weight room not to do a “body builder’s” workout but one that helps build lean muscle mass and strength while maintaining flexibility.  That is why we have a strength and conditioning coach who you would think knows the difference.   I am sure Julian is not trying to get into the pros with a body like the late Anthony Mason who looked like a body builders and while a good NBA player, was not a great outside shooter.

Known fact, eh?
 
So a couple of months ago he was in a cast. Any idea if the injury is fully healed? 
 
From my own personal experience,
working out your arms and upper body to much and too often, while playing ball regularly, can throw off your shot. I don't think it's much of an issue during the off season, but I'd venture  a guess that most players, especially ball handlers and shooters, go easy on their upper body workouts during the season.  I got no  scientific evidence(follow the science!) to back this up, it's just based on my own experiences when I played. 
 
Is there actually any indication that Julian has packed on a ton of muscle or is this just speculation based on a picture where he's literally flexing from being in the middle of a rep, and also have the pump effect from having just worked out?

He'll be ready for the season. It's not a concern. Not ready for full contact as of the first practice last week but should be soon.

You must be right.  I once read that Lou Ferrigno was a 5* shooting guard until that accident with the gamma radiation...  /media/kunena/emoticons/smile.png

Yeah, but then he became the ultimate power forward./media/kunena/emoticons/wink.png

Wusu is the one who might not be ready
 
Justin played 23 minutes for Raptors last night with 10 points and 6 rebounds. I'm hearing they've liked what they've seen so far and not impossible he may stick with team.

There was a big write up in the Toronto papers last weekend where Coach Nurse expressed how much he liked Justin and that Justin was doing everything possible to stay in the league. Wishing him the very best of luck and looking forward to watching him play.

Scottie Pippen Jr. transferred to Villanova?

Or maybe all those V schools look alike./media/kunena/emoticons/tongue.png

My money is on Trevion Williams over Jackson-Davis and Timme, with Abmas as my long shot winner.
