“He certainly is drawing some attention from the coaching staff, that’s for sure.' After using the NBA's season pause to train and improve his physique, Raptors' Chris Boucher is primed to take the next step when play resumes. (via loung_s)
“They’re doing a good job, they gave us like five or six restaurants that we can order from the app that’s outside of what we’re getting from the team already,” Boucher said in a conference call Friday. “I always love steak and stuff, and every restaurant that we go to, they have steak, they have salads, I’m going to keep on with it, and I get enough food here to sustain my needs.”
Fast-forward to the Raptors arriving in the bubble and Boucher’s not only been able to maintain what has become his usual dietary routine, but all that work to try to bulk up that originally lithe six-foot-nine, 200-pound frame is showing tangible results. Raptors head coach Nick Nurse has been equally as impressed with Boucher’s physical improvement and is even mulling if this now calls for a larger role for the Canadian when the season resumes.
Additionally, because of his varied skill set, Boucher could just make for an intriguing change-of-pace option for Nurse at times, too.
