Also in the way he does not grasp for air in the small breaks during game. Last seasons he was doing that all the time, in the very beginning of seasons, and this tendency to grasp for air went down as he came in shape during the season. The reason he is in better shape now is also likely the national team tournament that kept him in shape during offseason.
Physically, he is there, and better.
He doesn't look as "doughy" as last season for sure....but he still looks overweight AND a step slow. His shot is also garbage from long range, pointing to conditioning issues in the legs.
He is no where close to where he needs to be physically IMO. Probably the superstar in the worst condition in the whole league.
