Okongwu & the Summer that Changed Everything

[hylndr11]

Used.to take Clint half a season almost to get into "shape" now he just never does because he is older now.  We should have tried to get rid of him when that started taking almost half the season to get going.

What's happened to OO, his energy, toughness, grit?

I think OO has put on bad weight (I mentioned he looked heavy when I saw him at the open practice) - it has affected his quickness off the jump, his lateral movement and overall conditioning.  Seems to be 'lumbering' more this season.  Maybe he didn't work out as much this past offseason with the contract decision that was looming, but his quickness and explosiveness in some of these videos (few pages back) from last season is not there this season.

He's looking better. Hopefully he doesn't relinquish his starting spot.
