Jordan McRae signs a one-year deal with Melbourne United
He was selected by the Sixers
CTI Melbourne United have completed their inaugural roster for the 2014-15 NBL season, signing NBA Draftee Jordan McRae to their second import spot.
A prolific college scorer, who is a willing passer, a versatile defender and not afraid to throw down a highlight reel dunk, McRae is coming off an outstanding senior year at the University of Tennessee.
He caught the eye of the United coaching staff at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, averaging 21.0 ppg for the Philadelphia 76ers team, earning selection in the All-Summer League second team and an NBL contract with United.
“We feel Jordan adds a different dimension to our group,” Head Coach Chris Anstey said. “We really like his length and athleticism, as well as his ability to score the ball in a number of ways.
“He stood out for us in Vegas. We feel he can give our team lots of different looks with our line-ups, and look forward to him arriving. We are excited to have Jordan complete our roster.”
