Jared McCain had a decent Summer League averaging 14.3 points per game on 26.1 percent shooting. His numbers were on the same level as his numbers at Duke, where he propped up 14.3 points, five rebounds and 1.9 assists in 36 contents. Per Sixers Wire, McCain was named ACC All-Freshan and NCAA All-Region after helping lead the team to the Elite Eight.
In Philadelphia, the role would be to evolve into a full-fledged point guard. McCain has shown glimpses of his passing and playmaking abilities. Per The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie, McCain has all the attributes needed to shape up into a reliable NBA player in the future.
“He has a strong 200-pound frame, and the intel on McCain isn’t just good; it’s elite. He ticks every single box from a character perspective and is known to be excellent in terms of work ethic — both in the gym and in the weight room. There’s every reason to buy into him continuing to grow from this already strong starting point.”
Jared McCain is pegged to be a steal for the 76ers at No. 16. Only time will tell how he fares for the side when he takes the hardwood in the upcoming season.
