2018-19 NBA Season Review
JaVale McGee signed with the Los Angeles Lakers shortly after they signed LeBron James in 2018 NBA free agency. Immediately, McGee became the team’s starting center as his time with the Golden State Warriors helped shed him of his previous image as a joke throughout the league.
McGee almost immediately proved himself to be the right man for the job. In the first 29 games of the 2018-19 NBA season, McGee averaged 11.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks while quickly became a frontrunner for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award.
