Ryan Anderson is 20 pounds lighter and dunking on peeps

Anderson's weight last season caused him to be 'mad at his shot' and his stats reflected the disappointment. However, that's all slated to change.

Last season, Ryan Anderson was glued to the ground. In his words, he felt as though he was running around with 20 pounds of extra weight tied to his already below average athletic frame.

"Training camp last year was the first day I was cleared to do anything. I would say I was close to about 20 pounds heavier than I am right now. I like to think of it as adding a 20-pound weight vest and trying to get up and down the court.
