The former Duke Blue Devil and No. 16 pick stood out in his first professional game.
After conquering the collegiate game with the Duke Blue Devils, guard Jared McCain took his first steps towards doing the same at the professional level with the 76ers on Monday.
McCain played in his first Summer League contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder, pouring on 15 points on 6-for-15 shooting in the 10-point win. He also tacked on six boards, three assists and two steals. He looked like one of the team's best players — along with former Bruin Adem Bona — a signal that he could be in line for a nice role with the 76ers primary squad. Despite failing to sink any triples Monday, there's little doubt that part of his game will translate to the next level.
Now, he’ll join a 76ers squad that’s buzzing following the addition of multi-time All-Star Paul George as a free agent. Alongside the trio of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and George, McCain should frequent the main roster with solid off-ball scoring and savvy ball-handling.Derek is co-founder and publisher for Draft Digest and Inside The Thunder for Fan Nation, powered by Sports Illustrated.
