7-6, 184-pound Romanian teen focusing on health over hoops

He's got a nice shooting touch and solid passing skills, too.

 So it's no wonder that Bobroczkyi is generating buzz among youth league scouts in Europe.

 What the Romanian lacks, though, are any traces at all of muscle on his 184-pound frame. He runs awkwardly, and tires easily.

That's why the Rome academy where Bobroczkyi is based — the same youth club that produced Brooklyn Nets player Andrea Bargnani — has decided to dedicate this season exclusively to fitness and strength.

 This being Italy, the recipe is simple: pasta, pasta and more pasta.

 Following an individual nutrition plan created for him by specialists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, Bobroczkyi is eating more than 2 pounds of pasta per day.
