JaVale McGee has officially signed his one-year, veteran’s minimum contract with the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.
"JaVale changes the geometry of the game,” said Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka in a statement. “His unique combination of incredible length and foot nimbleness will allow us to play fast at both ends. His ability to both protect the rim and create angles with rim rolls will present a number of advantages in Coach Walton’s system.”
The two-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors will hope to offer finishing around the rim, rebounding and rim protection.
