OAKLAND – The hiring of Mike Brown as the top assistant coach was not the only move made by the Warriors that made folks wonder. The inviting of JaVale McGee to training camp was even more of a puzzler.
Though his athleticism ranks in the top tier among NBA centers, rarely has McGee been able to translate that to positive production. More often than not, the 7-footer offsets his assets by making mental errors that hurt his team.
That largely explains why McGee, drafted 18th overall by the Wazards in 2008, has played on four different teams.
