round 1 or 2 ? I am guessing he will be a Danny Granger type player in the NBA -- so IMO late 1st round

Granger is maybe an unfair comparison. But he can. Contribute to a team. I have zero doubt of that now.

I doubt he will go first round just because this years draft is so deep. But i do think he can contribute in the NBA

I think Stokes is more interesting as a prospect. Is Faried starting to become a valid comparison? Or at least Reggie Evans with some offense?

I don't think he's quite quick enough to play and guard the two. Certainly not big enough to play the three

Granger is 6'8 225 I don't really see the comparison? I think Jordy will make the NBA but it's going to take him a few years to develop and put on weight.

He's not as crazy as J.R., but he's also not as good of a scorer. They're probably near the same athleticism, and McRae is a better defender, but that's because there are no D's in J.R. Smith's name.

Not necessarily. You don't have to be bulky to play in the NBA. Lots of guys have skinny frames just look at KD.

You're right, but KD also is 6'10, has a great wingspan, and is one of the best scorers pure scorers ever. McRae doesn't have some of those factors to help him.

Jordy has a Jamal Crawford type of body. He doesn't need to add 40 lbs or anything, but getting stronger when he gets bumped on the pick and roll and such. He can play in the NBA, just a matter of how he develops while not playing.

Granger didnt start out that size - When he was at Bradley, it didnt look like he would be much of a player at all. Things change.

Draftexpress is probably the best at predicting the draft a few months out. They have McRae as the last pick of the 2nd, and Jarnell mid 2nd. Jarnell reminds me of Dejuan Blair.

If Nicodermus can't get weight on Jordan, I doubt the NBA trainers can either. That's just Jordan's frame, long and skinny. I can't see him putting on more than 10 more pounds. Also I noticed you were talking about KD's wingspan, from what I understand McRae's wingspan is 7ft.

I don't think McRae's body type is a do or die to make the NBA. McRae's defense, scoring ability and consistency will get him drafted.

Late 2nd rounder at his point, maybe even undrafted. I think he ends up in the D League for a little while.

I would almost put money on Jordy gaining at least 10 pounds within the first two years of his NBA career. I can't think of a single NBA player that didn't get substantially bigger in the league. Even KD, Tayshaun, etc.
