Cavs: JaVale McGee will be a quality transition target

JaVale McGee should be a factor in the Cleveland Cavaliers transition game.

Looking at the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ recent trade acquisition in JaVale McGee, it’s evident that the veteran reserve big should make his felt in settled situations near the basket.

Last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, McGee had 6.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 16.6 minutes per outing.

McGee is not a player you’re going to feature on-ball much, really, aside from the occasional low-block work via jump hooks, but McGee is an active rolling/lob threat presence in the halfcourt, to go with being a productive offensive rebounder.
