physical, rebound-first Texas State forward with proven efficiency
McCrea is a rugged, low-usage forward whose value comes from activity, rebounding and finishing rather than volume scoring: in 2015-16 he averaged 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 28 games, then in 2016-17 he improved to 5.6 points and 3.6 rebounds per game, with a career-high 17 points on 8-of-10 shooting and an 11-point, 9-rebound debut that showed he can impact a game without needing touches. He profiles as a strong fit for a team needing physical interior minutes, effort and efficiency, though his range and free-throw touch were limited in the available stats.[1][2][3]
