Sometimes a player needs to be in certain atmosphere or element to thrive and get the best out of them. Look at JR in Cleveland. He was an important piece to them winning that title down 3-1. Even though we knew he had talent he was on the verge of being black balled by the league because of his off the court issues and knucklehead play on the court. Don't count this dude out just yet because this might be the atmosphere that gets the best out of him.

lol you act like JR never had any good years before he got to Cleveland :dahell:

he avg 18 pg in NY. he's always been able to play in this league.

Mcgee hasn't shown shyt and if he was any good he would've done more by now.

JR had LeBron.

Despite all the talent on the Warriors, McGee's success will be largely determined by him and not by those other players.

You don't think Steph and KD will make the game easier for him? I have to question your B-ball knowledge if you don't think that is the case. This guy will get alot of open looks base off the attention those two will attract from opposing defense. Those guys are not Lebron but both of them are top three players who can create for others besides themselves.

He showed alot of potential that year when he went to train with Hakeem and was traded to Denver. He was essential to them making the post season that year where they faced the Lakers. He was going toe to toe with prime Andrew Bynum in that series. This guy is no Gasol, DJ, Cousins. or prime Howard, but you are underestimating what he is able to do on the court. I never said JR never had good years but he had issues off the court and did antics on the court that almost got him black-balled.

JR is a shooter, JaVale's game is I don't even know, he doesn't even have a game.

He's a poor man's DeAndre Jordan without the rebounding and defense.

He's a gimmick athletic freak.

If you want an accurate player comparison, look at Birdman Anderson on the Heat championship teams, McGee could be a better version of that for the Warriors. They're not going to be asking to him to post up and beat anyone 1 v 1 with technical skills, he literally just has to be an energy guy, compete on defense, hustle for boards, set screens and roll to the basket :pachaha:
