Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 2899936"] Fast twitch muscle is hard to build and quickly reaches the point of diminishing returns. There's a reason you don't see skill players in college get appreciably faster in 3 or 4 years. Jerami Grant could stick his elbow in the rim as a 17 year old. Now, he could probably get his bicep partially in there. Not a big difference. As much as the NBA players like to make it sound like basketball is a contact game, it's not. Not like football, at least. Freshman Leonard Fournette would have died in the NFL despite being a big kid. Comparatively, Kobe and hundreds of other NBA players straight out of HS or OAD did just fine in the pros. Regardless, a full time strength and conditioning program as a professional will trump part time workouts as a college athlete. [/QUOTE]
