We can only hope. The 275 is possible, but I think the stamina will take a while. I just don't think there's any substitute for playing real games to learn just what it takes. But the 275 would be a good start..

Totally agree. Even if he's in great physical shape the emotions of the first few games are going to wear on him(especially since he's so emotionaly to begin with). Then to face his first NBA season and the grind that it is, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some major ups and major downs from Demarcus this year.

He got a good head start in summer league playing a lot of minutes. Now he's got about two and a half months to get ready for the season. That's doable.

Well there's still training camp + a few preseason games. They should really help him prepare too. He should be playing a lot of minutes in preseason
