If Jokic, Bill and Booker etc. won big contracts because they were in their prime, then there is a player who is 34 years old and started in the regular season four years ago. Playoffs He was a substitute and fell out of the rotation in the finals, but now he has an unimaginable contract and starting position, and he can even produce better statistics in the new season. Who is this person?
In the 19-20 season, the 31-year-old averaged 6.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game.
In the 20-21 season, the 32-year-old averaged 8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game.
After the transfer in the same year, he only had 5.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks. 6.7 rebounds, 1.1 blocks
This year, we successfully signed McGee from Mavericks for 20.1 million in 3 years. Let’s look at the 29-year-old Zhuang Shen, a player in the same position, with 6.6 million in 2 years, and the 34-year-old Jordan joined with a basic salary. Nuggets , Howard will still have a basic salary even if he returns! So why is McGee so popular?
1. Immediate combat power:
can score 9.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 15.8 minutes. Without conversion for the time being, this is still a factor of mid-term injuries and the joining of Biyombo . Let’s talk about a few tough games: against Kyle He scored 221 points and 15 rebounds against the Heat, 15 points and 15 rebounds against the Heat, 15 points and 12 rebounds against the 76ers, and 19 points and 14 rebounds against the Rockets. McGee himself is extremely talented, and even as he ages, he declines more slowly than ordinary players!
2.Character:
Many people say that if McGee+ Beasley+ Stephenson+JR Smith were smarter, his achievements would be as good as those of some All-star players. Even if he has been in the top five for many times, McGee Ji does not have "prickly" attributes to the outside world, but only "funny" attributes!
3. Suitable for strong teams:
McGee’s Nuggets, 76ers, Nuggets, Mavericks, Warriors for two years, Lakers for two years, Cavaliers, Nuggets, Suns , except for the short period of 20-21 In his Cavaliers career, they are all strong teams, and the content of three championship members is greater than that of many brushes!
4. Technical and tactical play:
protects the basket on the defensive end and is tall and long-armed on the offensive end. It is very suitable for the Mavericks' style of play, especially in cooperation with Doncic. His physical health attributes are also very good, which is very good for the Mavericks. Maybe get around 10+7+1.5 data in about 25 minutes!
summary: I was very optimistic about McGee in the Lakers at first, but unfortunately Vogel stubbornly insisted on a small lineup. Even Gasol and Drummond introduced later were not as effective as McGee + Master Huo!
What do you think of the Mavericks’ signing? Is it a profit or a loss? What do you think of McGee?
