Memphis Grizzlies starting point guard Mike Conley spent the offseason in the gym and he added 13 pounds to his frame. Conley says he needed more bulk to compete with bigger guards.
"It's been a huge concern of mine," Conley told The Commercial-Appeal. "Regardless of what critics say, I feel that way about myself. I've got to be able to guard these guys. I've got to be able to defend them in crunch time. Being stronger in your legs and upper body will help. I'm already a good defensive player. I've just got to be able to hold my weight against the bigger guards."
According to the newspaper, Conley is up to 186 pounds with 4.5 percent body fat.
