I think it's mainly him taking off a few months so his leg could heal up finally
He can finally attack the paint again for the first time since a bit before the Kyrie trade
The weightloss will be more of a factor towards the end of the season assuming he actually keeps it off
Losing weight and coming to camp in shape is a rare thing for him. I understand the national commitments and not recovering from injuries, but who plays a ton of highly competitive international games in the offseason and comes back fatter? Losing that weight is a big part of the light bulb coming on for him.
Again, I love his talent and truly call him generational. I have never seen anyone like him. Not even MJ. He makes scoring against other superbly fit professionals look easy. So easy that I sometimes feel he takes bad 3 pt shots, because he is bored. He can get to the paint and an easier bucket anytime he wants.
