Brandon McCoy Jr.: How High Can He Go in the 2027 NBA Draft?
About this episode
Michigan’s Brandon McCoy Jr. enters the season as one of the most physically gifted prospects in the 2027 NBA Draft. At 6’5” with a 6’10” wingspan, McCoy brings elite athleticism, defensive potential and physical tools that immediately stand out. But just how high can those tools take him, and could the development of his jump shot unlock another level to his NBA ceiling?
On NBA Draft Junkies Live, Rafael and James break down McCoy’s game, debate whether he’s the best athlete in the class and compare his long-term potential with fellow elite guard prospect Jordan Smith Jr.
How big is the gap between Smith and McCoy — and what happens if McCoy starts consistently making shots?
