    How good can this dude be? He looked pretty good in summer league, has gotten bigger, still very fast for a legit 7 footer, and is gaining alot of confidence. If he stays away from injuries and stays with a great pg (John Wall enter) he could make it to a few all star teams.

    He’s overrated coming into this season.

    He’s alright, I want to see some season play before buying into all this hype. He dominated SUMMER LEAGUE. Let’s remember that. I don’t care if he didn’t get alot of PT with Haywood in front of him, Haywood is average as a starter.

    I think he could average 13 points, 8-10 rebounds, 2 blocks next season.

    His Athletisium is insane. If he gets Mature in his body he can be a an allstar.
    His body Is similar to Hakeem the Dream, he wont be that good but you know what i mean.

    Also john wall will make him better by driving and dishing. and oops. Also his upps are huge

    Yea, the keys to his success just might be in John Walls hands. Athletic big men with good pgs really benefit. I see Javale being a stronger Tyson Chandler with some offense. If Chris Paul got Tyson Chandler to an All Star game and got him the contracts that hes gotten (because lets face it, had he never went to New Orleans, he wouldnt even be half way relevant). Good pgs matched with big men who want to move, make their careers.

    McGee has always had decent talent offensively, he’s not a guy that’s incapable of creating his own shot, so don’t think that Wall will be the sole reason for his rise in production (ala Tyson Chandler with Chris Paul). McGee looked great last SL too, but I think he has taken his game to another level since then.

    I expect 14 ppg, 8 rpg, and 2 bpg next year.

    Yeah, McGee is not nearly as offensively raw as people think , he just really doesn’t have a go to move. He just has bouts with inconsistency and has a below average basketball i.q. He has has good post moves and soft hands, he just needs to refine his moves and know when to use what moves in which situation, what direction to spin, etc. This coming from a diehard Wizards fan who watched all 82 games last year, so I’m really excited about him next year!

    I think mcgee is gonna be helped a lot also by the development of Blatche. Both look to me like potential all-stars, and along with they have a groundwork to become a playoff team for years to come.

    MeGee has all the physical tools but it’s the mental part of the game that hurts him. I think Wall will help him look better by creating easy scoring chances for him, but if he doesn’t get the mental part of the game down he’ll never be able to live up to his potential.

    Just on Tyson Chandler, didn’t he sign his big money contract while he was still at Chicago? I don’t think Chris Paul had anything to do with the money he earned, just his overinflated performance while he was healthy.

    Im from the Reno area and got to see him play alot at UNR. He plays lazy and may not have the workethic to be as good as he could be. I hear hes pretty uncoachable. but he has serious potential to be a Camby/Chandler type guy if he works at it

    Haywood argueably had the best season of his career last year which is odd for a guy in his 30’s, I know Washington probably had intended playing McGee earlier and more often, but Haywood out played him. Once he got traded though, McGee showed signs of really being an impact player, he was very inconsistant though. By April he put up 13 points 8.5 boards and a excellent 2.9 blocks per game in 25 min per game. If he works hard I don’t see why he can’t put up those type of numbers for the season with much higher ones in the last few months. Washington is an intriguing team, they could actually be good next year and McGee will have his ups and downs being a young player but he is a nice piece and has about as much upside for a center as anyone in the league.

    He gets bumped around too much for my liking, but he’s an incredible athlete.

    I just hope he knows his role next yr, and stop committing so many fouls…

    Mcgee is getting A LOT of hype on this message board. I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed.

    i watch him alot since my cousin plays 4 the wizards and mcgee needs 2 rebound better defensively. last year he didnt sem interested in rebounding like he should have. offensive rebounding hes great at but the rebounds hes supposed 2 get he doesnt and give sup alot of 2nd chance pts. he also stayed a foul trouble a good bit. hes young he jus needs more time 2 mature
