I think the Mavs had to upgrade their center, but if I am being honest I had bigger ideas than McGee heading into the summer. Can he work well here? We will see. I do think the Mavs need to find cheap labor. Hopefully McGee can do that for 3 years. It is also why it is important to see Green and Hardy develop. If they can find a starting center who can play a good 18-20 minutes a night for 6 million, that is a positive contract.
I will be interested to see if his added length is an impact on the boards and protecting the rim where Powell is a little limited. But more importantly, I want to see if he can do what Powell is good at. Powell is limited, but I thought he played well in the regular season. He knows how to play with Luka and plays hard all the time. Can McGee develop a great connection with Luka and can he play hard the way Powell plays? If the answers to those questions are no, then the extra length won't really matter.
