Barkley was a fun-to-watch bull in a china shop too his first few years in the league, but he wasn't an MVP until he got his body into shape (240s) in Phoenix.

Maybe Williamson will be the next Barkley, or maybe he'll be the next Oliver Miller and eat himself out of the league.

Sir Charles concurs...

he doesn't look fat to me either, but every extra pound takes its toll on knees and hips and ankles, etc.
