If he really went from 240 to 220 it will definitely make a difference

Lets hope Smart's version (of losing 20 pounds and being more explosive) is much more effective then the version that Sully claimed every offseason for 4 years.

Uh, Smart saying this would require that he was somehow explosive before the Gwyneth Paltrow Goop Juice Cleanse (sarcasm), so when was that?  I just hope that he stayed away from the cockroach milk. #TastesLikeChicken

A guy like Marcus could easily shed 20 lbs with the gym and right diet.
 It is keeping it off during regular season-with all the travelling late night meals/snacks and change of routine.
When he was young he probably could eat anything-it is to his credit he has altered his diet.

I hope this means he'll drive to that basket more. and not jumping 2 feet early when shooting a lay up.

I hope for that more than the 3 pt shot.

"When he was young"? He's 23!

This could be fantastic for Marcus...Especially in his contract year.

I'm just going to continue to love Marcus, as is. I can't be having high-Sully-hopes again. Of course, Smart is nowhere near Sully in terms of out of control weight gain, but things always got worse when we thought they were getting better for him.

Smart is an effective NBA player clearly worthy of 30mpg - if he can improve, then I will consider that a nice surprise rather than expect it.

The title says he's slimmer, not smarter (forgive the pun).

Interesting he says he's down to 219

Wiki and yahoo have him listed at 220. So if he has lost 20 pounds it's because he had ballooned up.

his draft weight on nbadraft.net is 227.

We'll see

What a remarkable coincidence, right? "I have decided to make a commitment to getting myself in shape and eating healthy to improve my game - but it's a pure coincidence that this is a contract year..."
