<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>NEW YORK (Ticker) - The shadow of Nick Fazekas could only obscure JaVale McGee for so long. The Washington Wizards selected McGee with the No. 18 pick in Thursday's NBA draft. A 7-foot, 240-pound center who toiled in obscurity while Fazekas dominated the Western Athletic Conference for Nevada, McGee blossomed as a sophomore, averaging 14.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and a WAC-leading 2.8 blocks. McGee ranks fourth all-time in Wolfpack history with 122 blocks despite playing just two seasons, and blocked at least four shots in 13 games last season. Although he shot 53 percent from the field, McGee was a woeful 53 percent from the free-throw line. Long and athletic, he will need to add a little weight to be a solid center in the NBA. His mother played in the WNBA, making them the first mother-son duo to play professionally in the WNBA and NBA.</div> Thoughts?

They'll definitely toughen up. I'm not sure how JaVale plays, but hopefully they made this choice with the Princeton Offense in mind. BTW, sweet username.
