Suns’ Grayson Allen got yoked this offseason

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Grayson Allen looks ready to enter the ring after debuting his new broad-shoulder physique.

Last year, the Suns roster listed the 6-foot-4 hooper at 195 pounds. On this year’s roster, Allen is listed at 198, which is only a three-pound increase from last season.

During the team’s media day on Monday, Allen revealed that he is 35 pounds heavier than his listed weight, though he admits he had added much of that before last season began.

“Having that base of strength has helped me a lot with durability throughout the season,” Allen said on Monday.

As a muscle watch corespondent, can confirm Grayson Allen’s offseason photos translate in person. His shoulders are huge.

Allen has dealt with minor injuries, including a hip injury, which he’s managed throughout most of his career. He noted that having a stronger build has helped him mitigate injuries.

He appeared in 75 games last year with Phoenix and 72 the season before with the Milwaukee Bucks.

“I’ve always felt good with a little bit more strength, a little bit more weight, a little bit more muscle,” Allen said.

The former Duke guard signed a four-year contract extension with the Suns in April.

Last season, during his first year in Phoenix, Allen led the NBA in three-point shooting percentage with 46.1%.

Allen tied the Suns’ franchise record for most threes in a game, sinking nine shots from behind the arc in three separate games.

The sharpshooter said his goal this summer was to continue building strength.

To achieve the look of a Baywatch lifeguard, Allen began lifting weights earlier in the offseason.

It’s clear Allen’s recent bulk-up has paid off and if he ever wants to leave the NBA, he may have a bright future in the WWE.

His nickname, ‘G-Money’, which he earned while playing at Duke, could work well in the ring.
