He is considered a summerleague star, as well as Kevin Martin.

It also says he is shining in the Vegas Summer League. As Lex Luther would say, "Wrong!"

That's funny.

It's nice to see Andrew getting some props, though.

He definitely gained a lot of weight. It looked like it was mostly in the chest. He was visibly wider this year. His face still looked like a teenager - a bit of baby fat, but less than last year. And his arms were bigger too His legs didn't seem to have a lot of mass on them. That is, they seem proportionately skinnier than the rest of his body. But then again that's how it is with almost all ballers.

He stayed in the post and patrolled the paint while he was in on Sunday. He was in the action a lot, but seemed to be trying to stay out of foul trouble or something. He didn't seem overly aggressive. I mean to say that he was trying to get into position and dominate that way rather than bully people out with his size. Even though he did push people around at times. (I don't know if that made any sense.) I don't know if my perceptions about his play were at all accurate. Maybe I was distracted by the lack of talent on the Dallas squad.

Ohh, I disagree on his legs. His Cavs are huge - they pop outward in his socks. His legs are well muscled. In fact, Andrew has had thick, muscular legs since he was drafted. It was his mid-section, torso where the explosion starts, that really needed (and still needs) strength, muscle. I believe there are some pix posted somewhere on LG.net where you can see his legs are fairly strong, and his Cavs specifically.

Calves are great - good hops and explosion
Quads could use some work for holding position - Squats, squats, squats.
Core strength - Hopefully Bynum will go through the same exercises to strengthen his torso that Odom did last year.
Chest+Triceps, Back+biceps - needs more strength but clearly has added mass since last year
