Jared McCain wears his Sixers threads for the first time since getting drafted.
Heading into the NBA Draft, the Sixers were viewed as a potential trade-out candidates. While Daryl Morey confirmed there were some deals on the table, the Sixers viewed McCain as the better addition.On Friday, McCain arrived at the Sixers’ practice facility in Camden, New Jersey, for the first time. The rookie guard had the chance to rock his Sixers threads for the first time.“It’s been pretty hectic,” McCain said of the post-draft process.
McCain’s role in year one is undefined at the moment. The Sixers need players on board, who can help them compete for an NBA title as early as this year. The Duke standout is unlikely to garner an everyday role at the start of his rookie effort, but Daryl Morey and the Sixers have hope he can carve out some minutes for himself in year one, while proving he's on the path to becoming a long-term contributor.
“I don’t want to put pressure on him,” Morey said after round one, regarding McCain. “But we think he’s got the improvement curve, he’s got the approach, he’s obviously got a skill that the coach will turn around on the bench and say, ‘Hey, I need that skill.’ He can really punish people in transition, really rebound. He’s pretty special for a guy to get in the middle of the first round.
McCain will get his first set of action with the Sixers during the 2024 NBA Summer League run. In Las Vegas, the Sixers will debut against the Detroit Pistons on July 13.Title: Credentialed writer/reporter covering the Philadelphia 76ers for Sports Illustrated’s FanNation Email: JustinGrasso32@Gmail.
