WizardofOzParticipantFirst off let me start by saying I am not the real WizardofOz. I am his brother.I have never posted anything on this website but enough is enough. I along with my bro have been Wizard fans for about six years but I have now officially jumped off the bandwagon.
Javale McGee is a very good shot blocker and rebounder. I’ll give him that but the negatives far outweigh the positives by far. During the preseason, it seemed like Wall and McGee developed a chemistry that many believed would translate to the regular season.This couldn’t be further from the truth.McGee has no offense at all. But worst of all, he doesn’t seem to know it. Anytime he touches the ball from the freethrow line to the rim he is guaranteed to jack it up. Whether he is open or not he will constantly throw sum wild running shot at the basket that doesn’t have a prayer’s chance at going in. Because he is so limited offensively he should just stick to catching the occasional oop and cleaning up the glass.
In one sequence in the wizard/bulls game, three straight times the offense was run through him in the post. The result as you might expect: brick, airball, and turnover. The coaching staff is partially to blame because they continue to allow him to try and score when he is simply not capable of doing this.At the end of the game he was even celebrating his triple double at the end even though they were killed by 19.This along with his fight with his teammate,Andray Blatche, shows his lack of maturity. I know I will probably get killed for this but I am only speaking truth and on what I see. I watch basically every Wizards game so I would know.

Michael.S.ParticipantI agree totally, bu just for clarification; the sequence you are referring to is at the end of the game when he was jacking up shots every time he touched i because he wanted the trip-doub.

Michael.S.ParticipantWhat he did today and what Blatche did last year is why their team is just tremendously bad. And the reason I am so down on them as players.

JNixonParticipantI think McGee will eventually become a very decent scorer low low and from the high post. He’s raw right now with it, but I’ve seen him make some moves that are insane for someone who supposedly isn’t going to be much of a on-ball post scorer. I think he needs time, but I can understand the impatience. He really does come off as a big tease right now when looking at his physical tools and the flashes he will show in his post moves.

thunderforthewinParticipanti think this the first time ever a player registered a triple double then somebody posted a subject on how bad he is

CodySLCParticipantHes not that bad. Hes still raw. Hes a great shot blocker and good rebounder. Maybe hes so aggresive because hes on a really bad team.

IndianaBasketballParticipantIs it me or does McGee seem to be a little off mentally?

SwatLakeCityParticipantI think the bad influence of Blatche and Lewis is wearing off on Mcgee. Lewis and Blatche need to go. I have the Wizards selecting Harrison Barnes and Markeiff Morris in this years draft to replace them both and I think both would be great additions to the team. Morris will add some leadership qualities that he learned at Kansas playing next to his twin brother Marcus this year, and both Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins last year (as well as their great coach, Bill Self) And Barnes should do well with John Wall taking the reigns at point. Wall is a great young PG. Good leader for this young team. We’ve seen the benefit that a good point gaurd like Kendall Marshall is to Barnes and I imagine that Wall will have the same kind of impact on him and his great attitude as well as the attitude of Markeiff Morris and Wall should wear off well on McGee. Also Flip Saunders might get fired over the offseason. I see a lot of moves this offseason and some much needed change for the Wizards to get them back into the playoffs come 2011-2012 season.
Wall, Young, Barnes, Markeiff Morris, and McGee should get this team to the playoffs come 2011-2012 season.

torontoraptors10ParticipantAre you DwillJazz? And can you justify why Rashard Lewis is a bad effect on JaVale McGee? Just curious.

Mr. ChicagoParticipantI couldn’t agree more, he reminds of a cross between Forrest Gump & Alan from the Hangover.

SwatLakeCityParticipant@Torontoraptors, Rashard Lewis is a veteran player which means that any kind of attitude he portrays to the public it will resonate off the young guys if they do not know better and really need someone to look up to. Like McGee. It does not resonate off Wall, because Wall is the leader of the team and he as the leader knows better than to just start acting like the older Rashard Lewis who in my opinion is retarded and does not know what he is doing. When you are young like McGee is and you don’t have the leadership qualities like Wall does then you look up to older guys in the league. Even us, as NBA fans look up to certain veterans and players. We have our idols, people we follow, and we try to model our game after them. This is especially important for young players when they come in to the NBA who have zero leadership skills like McGee. They need someone to look up to. Someone to mold their game after. Someone to know how to react when you start loosing a bunch of games like the Wizards are. This in turn puts a lot of pressure on the older teammates to start teaching and being a mentor for the younger guys. Lewis doesn’t care about his team, only about himself and how much money he receives. Nor does he care about the future of the team, just himself. (This is one reason why the Magic got rid of the selfish player that he is, the other reason being his HUGE contract) His attitude, and the way he carries himself, has an impact on McGee and so does Blatche (his attitude also has an impact on McGee) since he is the other guy playing down low with him.
Some of this is also result of the coaching staff which is why I think that Flip Saunders might be let go this offseason and in comes a new coach to hopefully restore order to this team.
Yes, he (McGee) was doing this before Lewis came along but you would think that these immature acts would go away with time unfortunately they haven’t because of the influence that Lewis and Blatche have on him. Fortunately it hasn’t resonated onto the other teammates like Wall (and I don’t think it ever will). I’m not quite sure if it still has an effect on Nick Young. It might. I’ve heard that he can act pretty stupid sometimes and that he and Blatche don’t really seem to care about the game but I haven’t heard much lately (This was all last year) so I hope that Wall’s influence in the backcourt has had an effect on him.
This is why I think that Lewis and Blatche need to go and I really think that if the Wizards draft Barnes and Morris in this year’s draft it will have a resounding influence on not only the Wizards game but also their teammates and will consequently allow the Wizards to win more games.

WizardofOzParticipantHow has Lewis been a bad influence on McGee? He’s a great guy and has been the vet in the locker room. And he was playing well until his knee started getting worse, which is why he has not played the last few games. I can see why you say Blatche (even though I don’t think Blatche should be traded), but Lewis is not influencing McGee in a bad way. Yes he’s overpaid and we’re stuck with him, but he’s not a bad character guy.
