Washington post beat writer Michael Lee, who used to cover JaVale McGee regularly when he was a member of the Wizards before being traded to the Nuggets last season, talked to Nuggets coach George Karl recently about the young center.

George Karl On JaVale McGee: Lazy And Crazy Isn’t Going To Make It Work
