Fantasy Analysis
McGee has been one of the more frustrating options in Fantasy this season. His production has been extremely inconsistent thus far and he has had trouble staying on the court since Randy Wittman was named interim coach. While the 24-year-old looks to have all the tools to become a high-end Fantasy C, owners should view him more of a low-end No. 1 option at this point in the season. (Updated 02/10/2012).

JaVale McGee scored 22 points and had 10 rebounds as the Washington Wizards defeated the Charlotte Bobcats for the second time in a week, 102-99 on Saturday.
Everyone has seen JaVale McGee make the highlight dunks and ridiculous blocks, but many wondered if he had the skill set and discipline to actually establish himself as a quality big man in this league. Although, after putting up career highs in starts (74), points (10.1), rebounds (8.1) and blocks (2.4), some of those doubts may have been put to rest. McGee had his most productive season as a pro during the 2010-11 campaign and really polished some aspects of his game. However, there are still some maturity issues with the 7-footer, who was suspended for getting into a fight with teammate Andray Blatche at a nightclub and also had his fair share of run ins with coach Flip Saunders. Still, at age 23, McGee hasn't reached his ceiling yet, which is scary considering the numbers he averaged in less than 30 minutes a game last season. He looks to have all the makings of an elite Fantasy center for years to come, although he isn't quite there yet. Consider McGee a No. 2 center worthy of a mid-to-late-round pick on Draft Day.
