Javale McGee

The Washington Wizards, despite the dismal record on their Southwest Division, can look forward to next season with two bright spots. One is rookie and first overall draft pick John Wall, who is a future all-star in the making. Number two is the emerging defensive force that is Javale McGee, who is learning a keen sense of his role on the team through defense; primarily that of blocking shots. Especially on the weak-side or adjusted help-side defense.

McGee, a legitimate seven footer with exceptional mobility, agility, athleticism and the wingspan has all the tools to complement his defensive abilities.
