Jordan McRae

A+. McRae carried his impressive play from Summer League over into the preseason. He was the star of the show and finished with a team high 20 points on eight of 13 shooting. He also added seven boards and five assists. McRae has the ability to score at all times from anywhere on the court. While we knew he can beat people one on one, he showed that he can also beat defenses in catch and shoot situations. McRae has made a compelling argument as to why he deserves to be a rotation player this season.. SG. Cleveland Cavaliers. JORDAN MCRAE
