According to Joe Gabriele of cavs.com, Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Derrick Rose “transformed his body” and lost weight in the offseason. Rose is currently listed at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds by ESPN.
Yesterday, we talked about the newly-svelte Kendrick Perkins, who came to CCC in tremendous shape.
Aside from the 33-year-old big man, the most noticeably different guy might be Derrick Rose, who transformed his body and shed some weight in the offseason.
While a player like Kendrick Perkins losing weight is interesting because it means he’ll probably be more capable of keeping up with the Cavs’ up-and-down attack than some would expect, for Rose – a player who has suffered from a myriad of injuries – losing weight is the first sign of Rose taking his durability seriously.
