The NBA's Top Five Up-and-Coming Duos #2: John Wall and JaVale McGee
Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 by NBA Playoff Schedule 2012
The Washington Wizards- probably the least threatening name for an NBA team. The alliteration in the name lends itself to sounding poetic- and not in that fierce, powerful "I am strong and shall escape the oppression put on my mind by society" kind of way. Washington sounds all tony and dignified (cue the government jokes), and "Wizards" sounds like your classic Halloween costume. Hear me roar? No, how about hear me wave my magic wand around.
John Wall and JaVale McGee might magically morph that punk-ass ole' male witch into something more formidable- something dangerous to the welfare of other Eastern Conference teams. Wall and McGee- alpha-athletes in a league filled with the best physical specimens on the planet- have the talent and attitude to become an apex-predator duo. They dunk, they snarl, they Dougie and they plank. Mature, win and jitterbug are the next verbs they must fulfill in order to reach their potential.
John Wall and JaVale McGee- wondrous Wizards of the East. |
Wall's rookie season was compromised by an early injury, but the Kentucky product still produced 16.4 points and 8.3 assists per game with solid rebounding numbers as PG. The offense he ran was atrocious, but he still displayed pure point guard skills, and his talent is obvious. At full strength, he can get into the lane any time he wants. He's got the tools to be a very good defensive point guard, and apparently he's been improving his J.
Meanwhile McGee got a real chance to show his stuff in 2011. After starting 33 games in the two previous years combined, he made the most of his 75 starts last year. With almost double the minutes per game, McGee improved his per-minute rebounds, turnovers, and fouls, indicating that experience and work has increased his basketball IQ, which is something many people didn't think he would do.
He also shot 55 percent and wasn't a turnover-machine. With a modest USG 16.3, McGee posted an individual offensive rating of 111, the highest among Wizards who played at least 2000 minutes last season. He was smart enough to accept his role, and he succeeded in that role as a result. He's an average defender right now, but with amazing length and run/jump ability, he may be able to parlay that shot-blocking ability into something more useful for Washington's defense.
Wall/McGee vs. Cousins/Evans? Wall/McGee takes it because McGee has the highest defensive potential and Wall has a chance to be a real superstar, on the level of Derrick Rose possibly. Matching a defensive-oriented big with a superstar point guard usually produces devastating results.
Abra Kadabra. Wall to McGee alley-oop...catch, slam dunk, angry face.
Roar. Wizards won't be whimperin' no more.
