Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Jordan McRae erupted for 36 points in his first NBA start on Wednesday, connecting on 14-of-29 field goals with seven assists, four rebounds and three 3-pointers.
McRae battled some cramping in 47 minutes of action, and his scoring deluge single-handedly kept a skeletal Cavaliers' lineup in this game until the final buzzer. He came in shooting 7-of-17 from downtown in just 21 appearances for the Phoenix Suns and Cleveland this season, and tonight's game gives the Cavaliers something to think about when deciding on his $874k team option.
McRae played 15 games for the Cavaliers this season, logging 7.5 minutes per contest. He earned a -0.1 nERD across 22 games for the year.
