McGee is already a problem in the paint thanks to his strong frame, size, and motor. He battled other bigs all day, using his body to carve out position, secure rebounds, and finish around the rim. Defensively, he clogged the lane, altered shots, and made life difficult for both guards and opposing bigs. Beyond his size, McGee impressed with his communication and leadership, constantly talking on defense and directing teammates. He has the foundation of a traditional post player but brings the energy and work ethic that coaches value. As his footwork and touch continue to improve, McGee has the upside to be a dominant interior presence.
