After watching him so far this year. I think hes good enough for the NBA. He has the size and the height to be a good low post player in the NBA.

He will have to play both years though. I think he will be a 2nd round pick after next year. Its too bad he is a juco transfer. It would have been awesome to have him all 4 years.

Post players in the NBA are not 6'6 (besides Blair).  Jae's biggest asset on offense is his ability to hit the three, and he has pretty much a set shot from out which isn't going to work as well in the NBA.  He's a hustler, pretty good rebounder for his size, and a good scorer, but unfortunately I see him stuck in a position like Hayward.  

Not saying Lazar doesn't have the potential to do well in the NBA, but it's a lot harder for Jae as well based on size and what his current strengths are for MU.  He's certainly proven he can play at a high level in the big east as a threat, so it's definitely not out of the realm of possibilities.  And by the way my vote was too early to tell.  I'd love to see him continue to improve here and become another MU draftee.
