I beg to differ on the *anyone* statement you made above. One would think 
that Walluh and Battie could and should add muscle to their thin frames. 
BUT genetics is the big factor here. Most athletes that I know have good 
genetics and fill out easily with training and diet but some people  just 
gain weight and others can't gain an ounce. I would think different 
metabolisms also come into play. Anyway that said, with the advantages of 
the Celtics training facility, trainers and nutritionists one would think 
some plan could be implemented to bulk them up. Oh well just my thoughts 
and YMMV.Later.Mike
