Rebounding forward with a motor and inside presence
Candice McGee emerged as a sturdy 5-foot-11 forward for New Orleans, with 2008-09 production that showed real value: 8.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while starting all 31 games, plus a team-best 44.1% field-goal clip[2]. She looks like the kind of low-drama, high-effort fit coaches love—physical on the glass, efficient around the rim, and capable of turning a game with rebounding and hustle rather than just flash[2][10].
