"The good news for Brooklyn is that Clowney, entering his third season, got the memo. Once a wiry prospect, the former first-round pick has added muscle and now looks primed for the next stage of his growth. His bulked-up frame has been hard to miss among teammates. "He looks great, and credit to him and the work he's put in the whole summer," Fernández said. "He looks like a grown man at just 21, and I'm excited to watch him play real games.""
"Clowney, a 6-9 forward, weighed 210 pounds at Alabama and carried that listing into his first two NBA seasons, though he said he played closer to 220-225 pounds last year. A summer spent eating with purpose and grinding in the weight room has reshaped him. Now he's a different beast at 234 pounds, aiming to turn the added strength into durability and growth. "That's been the whole goal, being a better driver," Clowney said. "I have to get stronger; I have to be able to drive through contact and be able to still be able to explode.""
Brooklyn's camp emphasizes conditioning and physicality under second-year coach Jordi Fernández, prioritizing players who can withstand an 82-game season. Noah Clowney entered his third season after bulking from roughly 210–225 pounds up to 234 pounds through targeted eating and weight-room work. The added mass aims to improve his ability to drive through contact, maintain explosiveness and increase durability after missing 36 games last season with multiple ankle sprains. Clowney averaged 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds while appearing in 46 games as he seeks better scoring efficiency and consistent health.
