DOG • JaVale McGee

NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC PIVOT

JaVale McGee: 3x! NBA Champion & Olympic Gold Medalist; with the Dubs, JaVale established himself as one of the league's most unique covers at the five; uncanny performer when motivated & utilized correctly – great shot-blocking threat (athletic 7-footer), McGee's a quick jumper w/ long limbs – alters looks by staying big; doesn't get buckets on the block too often but finishes off roll catches, is an excellent option for oops, clean ups & the occasional drive – takes giant strides before throwing up hooks and short runners; excels in limited action: JaVale knows how to play his role to a tee, contributes to a winning culture; a bit of a wild card at times,* though consistent success has followed JaVale throughout the course of his career; signed w/ Kings (2023) – JaVale adds championship experience & great size up front
