Look, I hope you’re right, just like I did during all of those Porzingis arguments.
For most, the Andre Drummond argument was coming from that Powell is SO bad at rebounding that Drummond was a viable option to replace him. Obviously Drummond has his own warts.
The thing is McGee isn't anything like Drummond, nor Powell. He can effectively guard the rim, rebound, all while being an elite lob threat. Further, he can hold his own on the perimeter. Remember when he had his SportCenter top 10 highlight by stripping Luka on one end and dunking on the other in the playoffs?
I just think you're underestimating McGee's impact, and overestimating how important the first 5 minutes are in every 1st and 3rd quarter which is what McGee will be playing.
