Pope blessing the Aztecs

From an article looking at San Diego State basketball:

"Even the returning players looked different. Sophomore forward Malik Pope has added a good 10 pounds of muscle to his wiry 6-10 frame.

“Malik Pope is what you would hope everybody would be when you go from year one to year two,” Fisher said. “Take a look at him. He’s bigger physically, he’s more confident mentally, and he’s a better player. We now need to take him from where he is and help him grow into the player that we’ve all seen little highlights of. But he’s made vast improvement.”
