The 76ers’ rookie will have to take these steps to find success in Philadelphia.
With the No. 16 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Jared McCain out of Duke. The 20-year-old surprised many with his level of success as a freshman for the Blue Devils. In 36 appearances, the 6-foot-2 guard averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting an efficient 61.1 TS%. In particular, McCain thrived from beyond the arc, where he shot 41.4% on 5.8 attempts per game.
Most importantly, he’ll have to continue his proficiency as a shooter. Elite shooting has been hard to come by in Philadelphia, and McCain has latent potential to provide just that for the 76ers in due time. Further, he’ll have to improve defensively to take primary point-of-attack assignments.
