JaVale McGee is a beloved role player that Los Angeles Lakers fans will remember fondly as a member of the 2020 championship-winning team from the NBA Bubble. Now, there is another team who gets to greatly benefit from his presence on their roster.
McGee joined the Illawarra Hawks of the NBL during the past summer, ready to help them defend their league championship. For those who think that team sounds familiar, it is the professional basketball LaMelo Ball played for, down in Australia, before entering the 2020 NBA Draft.
Ball had a successful stint with the Hawks, as far as individual numbers go, averaging about 17-8-7 in the 2019-20 season.
