JaVale McGee will give the Cleveland Cavaliers a spark off the bench.
Recent Cleveland Cavaliers trade acquisition JaVale McGee, who was paired with a Los Angeles Lakers 2026 second-round pick, is a more than serviceable backup 5 for Andre Drummond.
McGee, who had 6.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per outing with L.A. last season, is a solid interior presence at both ends as a 7-footer, and is a competent on and off-ball screener.
That should help out the likes of Darius Garland, Collin Sexton, Kevin Porter Jr.
