Which player will gain the most weight during the lockout?

During past lockouts some players have ballooned in weight and never been the same (see: Baker, Vin*).  The longer the lockout stretches, the higher the probability of this happening.

Which players do you think are most at risk for this happening?

I've got Zach Randolph near the top of my list.  He recently signed a big contract, has always struggled with conditioning and motivation.


*As an aside, I thought about titling this "Who will be the Vin Baker of 2011-12?" but didn't because I didn't want there to be alcohol or drug connotations.

Al Jefferson has to be at the top of the list.

Big Baby is just too easy.

So, I am going with Baron Davis.  Not only is he set for money, but he is on a crap team who doesn't want him, and they just drafted a PG #1 overall.  I think he will barely be able to step on the court he will be so big.

Of the Celtics, I would guess Paul Pierce. He looks to me to have that "Larry Bird" or "Danny Ainge" type of frame where it could sneak up on you. 

(You are right...Glen Davis is too easy and if he wants another contract anywhere, he will be watching his weight.)

I could definitely see Zach Randolph.  Wasn't Shawn Kemp the guy who showed up after the last lockout weighing over 300lbs?  lol.

Amazingly Glen Davis usually gets in decent shape over the off-season... but somehow gets OUT of shape during the regular season lol.  He is bizarro man.

I'm a little mad you basically said what I was going to, word for word.

My guess Andre Miller if he makes it back. I wouldn't be surprised to see Felton or Josh Smith come back a little rounder.  We might see Melo looking like he did in his rookie season too. The longer I think about it the more players I can think of.

Sleeper pick Kevin Durant, lol. it good go either way though good weight or bad.

Boris Diaw is a great guess.

I'd add Raymond Felton.
