Fans are expecting Johnny Furphy to make a major second-year leap for the Indiana Pacers next season, but they have just been given another reason to be excited about him. According to Jordan Morey of NBA.com, the Australian native has put on 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason, and that should only make him an even bigger force on the court next season.
"Just weeks after the Finals ended, Furphy impressed in Summer League play across three games. He said he gained 20 pounds of muscle, and it showed in those exhibitions with an improved inside game," Morey wrote.
