And the results weren't significantly better. NBA scouts have told him he needs to improve his 3-point shooting and his quickness on defense so it makes sense to slim back down.

He said NBA scouts told him to get faster, not bigger

there are two ways to beat physicality. Get bigger, or get quicker.

If he were 3" taller, I'd agree. He could make it as an NBA 3. But he's not 6'8"

Oh absolutely. I was speaking more of whether he could stick in the NBA or not.

Thin is okay for guards and SF. Bulk for the rest.

As a 6"5' guard he better develop a better handle and get quicker

Which are exactly the two things he worked on. Absolutely agree.

By healthy dose of defense you mean hack the guy until he falls over. That

Until it's called a foul, it's called defense - and BYU has not handled it well.

They're still fouls. I went to the St. Mary's game 2 years ago at St. Mary's

Teams play BYU with physical defense. Period.

And teams get away with it more in the WCC than they did in the MWC

I think it's more of a mental issue for Haws, not muscle...
