Regulars on this board will tell you there is no love lost between McRae and myself. I think he is grossly overrated for his athletic ability moreso than his basketball skill (same can be said for a lot of Pearl's players). However, I don't think his form is "terrible" as you suggest. It needs some refinement, and he needs to put more arc on his shot. Working with a shot coach and putting up 500 jumpers a day focused on better form can and will correct that, if he's willing to put in the time.
A more accurate assessment would be, he has the worst shot management discernment on the team, in that he is too quick to settle for outside shots. Mostly, it seems, he appears to be scared of contact taking the ball to the hole, and those ill-advised shots seem to come with 20-25+ seconds on the shot clock.
