As the guard gains more experience, coaches believe 'we are going to see him have some great games in Vegas.”
“I’m really just trying to learn,” said McCain. “... I’m just trying to do my part. I think I came out better than I finished in Utah. But I’m happy. I’m a rookie. There’s going to be ups and downs. I have to stay as even keel as I can. And just control what I can control.”Ricky Council IV, Keve Aluma lead Sixers to NBA Summer League victory over Detroit Pistons
“I think he’s doing all the right things on defense,” said assistant coach Matt Brase, who leads the summer league team. “He’s playing hard. He’s doing that, and the shot’s going to come. You know, it’s nothing we are concerned about it. He’s a highly talented player. And you know, he’s figuring it out. He’s played four professional basketball games so far.
But while he displayed versatility and toughness, the California native’s three-point shooting woes began from the start of last week’s SLC Summer League. The college three-point line is 22 feet and 1 ¾ inches away from the center of the basket, and 21-7 ⅞ from the corners. Meanwhile, the NBA line is 23-9 from the center and 22 feet in the corner.
“Not that college was easy or anything. But it’s just exciting to play against better competition. I’m excited to learn and go from there.”
