After two productive seasons with the Golden State Warriors en route to his two Championship rings, JaVale McGee agreed on a one-year, veteran minimum deal with the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.

Playing alongside LeBron James, McGee is looking completely different and the veteran is having one of the best seasons of his entire playing career. He has turned back the clock and is having almost the kind of year he has had in Washington in 2011-12.

Starting at Center position for the Lakers, he has been exceptional for the team and is one of the key reasons why the Lakers have been so successful this year. McGee has been brilliant catching the lob passes from James, Rondo and Ball all this season long. He is also averaging career-high 2.6 blocks per game and is posing serious threat to opposition players in the paint.
