Do you believe in miracles? Because that's what it would take for him to actually live up to his projected basketball potential.
Such a waste JaVale is, blessed with great size, length, and athletic ability, unfortunately he has a terribly low basketball IQ, and he is an injury waiting to happen, and when he is injured, he's injured for the season, on the organizations dime.
Years ago I had my eye on him as a trade target, asking "whats holding this guy back"
I would rather give Upshaw a shot.
