Duke freshman Jared McCain revealed his plans for year one with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite the countless rumors about the Sixers looking to part ways with the 16th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Philly waited patiently to go on the clock before making the pick that they seem more than happy with keeping.
McCain enters the NBA as a 20-year-old freshman out of Duke. During his lone season in the NCAA, McCain appeared in 36 games, starting in every matchup. He stood out on both ends of the floor, producing 14 points while draining 46 percent of his field goals and knocking down 41 percent of his threes.
“I do the social media, the nail painting, I do all that stuff, but basketball is obviously my main focus,” McCain claimed after hearing his name get called in Brooklyn. “This has been my dream since I was literally like five, four years old. So, I’m gonna do whatever I can just to win and bring a positive attitude and just have fun. I’m just joyful with life and I try to bring that everywhere I go.
