They Should've Never Let the Sixers Get Jared McCain...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- The Sixers, after years of playoff disappointments due to injuries and bad chemistry, entered the 2024 offseason with only Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey on the roster. They drafted Jared McCain, a sharpshooter from Duke, despite concerns about his fit and social media presence. McCain's strengths complement Maxey's weaknesses, enhancing the team's offense and fastbreak potential. While undersized, McCain's work ethic and energy make him a promising addition, potentially turning into a valuable asset for the Sixers.

As a 76ers fan, I am proud to announce the following: Tobias Harris is gone!
finally!!
Tobi did 9/11
Aye Aye, it's Mr Crumble cookie😂
As a fellow Sixers fan...we are 1000% in AGREEMENT!
I'm not a Sixers fan, but I'm happy he's gone. Dude was literally the worst smh
Never overlook good energy
For real
gay energy
They learned that from Maxey
@@brab1242I’d rather be around a joyful gay, than a miserable person who is straight. Just about energy. Not sexual preference tbh.
Facts
McCain is gonna be a baller and it’s gonna tear up so many people.
McCain is gonna be maxey 2.0 yall will see it
As a sixer fan he has such a punchable face
on the court and on tiktok
@@marvinmcfarland-z7d Meagan McCain will never come close to Maxey.
The fanbase will tear him up first
The Smile Brothers! 😀 Maxey McCain!
Who also both happen to be among the hardest working players in the league

I like that and that positive energy will put us into the championship
Same thought I had when I saw him. They’re just gonna be two happy campers, smiling all the time, just glad to be there.
Mccain got a good appearance about him. Good family, good work ethic, and a lot of promise. For sure in the culture that philly has he will be a welcomed addition. If he stays healthy and happy then he will be the solidifying of something great in philly
crossdresser
Team culture definitely. Hopefully he can show the dog that he is so the fans get behind him quickly like we did with Oubre
much respect to McCain, I will no longer make fun of his nails and tiktoks. He's a baller, period.
Because he's on your team now?
you think he cared- lol
@@Ryan-wx1bihe’s good
@@darryls2141w
The fact that he gives everything on the court and is constantly working to get better makes him already a perfect fit for Philly! This year is going to be exciting!
The Lakers were the only team to get an A + in the draft and took a 6-6 shooting guard who the 76ers should have taken. McCain shot 0 for 7 from 3 . Dumb pick.
Love this video. We also acquired a bunch of defensive roleplayers now and McCain's shooting will be extra valuable alongside Oubre and Martin and even PG and Embiid.
Excited for this pick!
Ironically while everybody was comparing McCain to Maxey and Brunson he kinda reminded me of Eric Gordon who we also got in that he’s an elite shooting undersized wing in reality with the athleticism, build and mentality to compete with bigger guys.
do you think he gets rotation minutes his rookie year?
@@brew7676 Doubt rotation, just because we also signed Gordon and will probably pick up another point guard with a vet minimum and I think they'll take priority. I'm hoping he earns more and more minutes as the season goes along sorta like Maxey's rookie year.
@@KidCudi72 agreed, maybe he takes Gordon's spot if he plays well enough. Maybe he can play some point as well.
I hope he can play. It is sad his social media gets more air than his play. His social media reminds me too much of Mahome's brother which isn't a good thing. I hope he can play. I hope his play becomes the biggest topic related to him.
No tf he doesnt bruh hes literally been a winner at every level
@@Jason-ee3yl -- What are you even saying no to?
I didn't say he wasn't a winner. I said his Tiktok has Jackson Mahomes vibes. A bunch of cringe dancing.
He can have cringe tiktok and still be a good basketball player.
He can shoot. He can playmaker. The first things I ever heard about him were related to Tiktok dancing and painting nails.
@@semi6544god forbid a mf wanna dance 😂😂
@@cristiancastaneda1336 Nah, It is cool for him to dance. It is just crazy that I know about his dancing before I know about his basketball skills.
I don't even have Tiktok. That is how much the media brought up his nails and his dancing.
This is sports media that I'm talking about. It never had to be a topic related to him.
He was good enough that we never had to know about his hobbies.
i’m a duke fan. when he first committed to duke i started watching his documentaries from nickinthecut just to see why the hell Duke recruited him. in his documentaries you will see he works just as hard, if not, works harder than other players & it really transfers to the court. you’ll see how he prepares himself before the games, the things he does to take care of his body is just surprising to see for somebody his age. you can tell he really wants to be good. as you saw he was very good for Duke during second half of the season.
Maxey has really worked on his defense and was much better this past year on ball.
Can you break down more of the rookies fits? I would watch every single one.
Maxey is Brian Westbrook. McCain is Shady McCoy. But they can both coexist being of similar age. Maybe even share the floor a little.
Excellent piece, well thought out and executed.
I don't think Steph or Maxey took a long time to develop. Steph played for a coach who thought Acie Law was a better player. Doc Rivers thought Maxey should come off the bench. Bad coaching held them back or slowed them down.
Tobias got his contract because the Nets were about to offer him a 4 yr Max or near Max in couple of days.
However at the last moment, Kyrie convince KD to sign with Nets.
But Tobias was worth his contract for the 1st 2 yrs at least.
If instead his contract was only 22% less (140 M over 5 yrs) with decreasing salary, there wouldn't have been complaints.
90% of fans don't understand the CBA. If Tobi was making 20 M less, there still wouldn't have been a way to improve the roster. That's because the Sixers were well over the Cap every year. That is Tobi barely affected roster construction.
The part about Lowry isn’t necessarily true. We ran the play less not because Lowry came but because we lost Embiid. He and maxey ran it perfectly but then he was injured. I hope we get Lowry back.
Maxey and McCain on the floor together! M&M gonna be dangerous
McCain is smart, dedicated and positive. We have another all-star in the making. McCain will make an immediate contribution towards winning, like Maxey did.
They both have great personalities too. Both great kids. Good role models too.
I have to say one thing about the wing sixers now have the one of the best spot up shooters in Paul gorge his catch and shoot % is very high tier
He’s a really good passer. I don’t know about his court vision, but his passing actually has potential to be elite. I think him and maxey have potential long term to carry the franchise once they stop building around Embiid. They just need to surround them with enough height.
Ngl I was a doubter because of fit, and I was slightly annoyed with the tiktok and nails thing but Honestly that’s his life. I’m on bored and now I love the pick
Last Duke player the 76ers drafted was Okafor, lets hope this turns out better
Most ridiculous comparison, judge the player not where they from.
Cheecks and Toney, Thomas and Dumars, Curry and Clay, and now Maxey and McCain
Excellent and impressive breakdown, you make great arguments. Subscribed.
McCain Let's Go. #76ers 🏀💪
at 2:12 that number 2 looks like black payton pritchard
Thank you so much for making this video mate. I literally knew next to nothing about this young man but I feel very good about this pick now after watching your video. No bias, just facts, love your content so much. Like shared and subbed! God speed !
Aw man. We got some great wings and shooters all over it bout to get scary😈
Speed is always good for the needs and that will be a super threat !!
The fact that he is a baller on tiktok shows that he doesn't give a damn about other peoples opinions on him and by extension that he won't shock under pressure it's great !!
He’s smart young has character and a hard worker.
The Ja Morant shot wasn't needed but great video bro
The happiest and most optimistic backcourt in the league. 😀 people are gonna hate so much when they’re balling.
Good news is he probably won’t be starting since we got Maxey , Oubre, Pg,Martin & Jo
Great breakdown!
More basketball videos please . That's really great
I haven’t been this excited for a draft pick since Mikal bridges
Not sure about your point on small guards taking time to develop. Steph was a very good player almost immediately (certainly by like 60% through his rookie year), and Maxey was a rotation guy right away and very good by his 2nd year, despite being a late 1st pick. Both kept getting better of course but they also had their strengths translate to the NBA very well. Brunson took longer but his game is mostly about manipulating space and reading defenses etc so that makes sense, which isn't the case for McCain.
Scary to compare other players progression to Steph IMO he's 1 of 1
Steph also stayed in school for a lot longer than Jared
@@tybones2222 well good thing he also compared him to Maxey and Brunson, if you can read without cherrypicking
The Sixers had a "small" backcourt that worked. About 24 yrs. ago, AI at 5'11" (Iverson is not 6'). Eric Snow at 6'3". The main difference was they were good at defense.
I'm not worried about having an undersized backcourt. Both Maxey and McCain are lights out shooters.
Trae Young and DG did take a little while to develop.
ben stray was crazy
Clap your handddsss everybody!!
Welp this officially got me hype for him LFG
McCain had a pretty impressive debut
With Maxey and McCain the Speed Brothers
Winning cures everything. I won’t see the nails if the ball keeps going in the hoop
😂
McCain shot only 28.6% from the field in 8 games of Summer League.
He shot about 26.5% from 3 pt on significant takes in Summer League.
He definitely will not in the rotation to start the season. He may be 14th on the roster, and may be behind a couple of 2-ways.
I been saying this and they have pg to just how you want to run your of is the only question. Since you him, joel,max,pg
The secret killer is Ricky Council if Nurse plays him more, like bith McCain and Bone picks not instant stars but solid
One of the best teams in NBA history had 3 main-rotation guards 6'3" or shorter, and they won back-to-back championships in '89 - '90
34 years ago….and the Bad Boy Pistons is your example. You do realize what that front out did to opponents right?
@@mjt7231 Not sure what your asking me there, but yeah, if they could do it, then Maxey-McCain has a chance also. People get too damned hung up on height that they forget recent examples of success. Tho' they never won the East (because of one Jordan-Pippin combo), Hersey Hawkins was only 6'3" and Johnny Dawkins was only 6'2". A more recent example that went all the way to the Finals was AI and Eric Snow, who was only 6'0" and 6'4" respectively.
Loved those teams but this ain't the 90s. The later Pistons team would've beat them too
As a duke fan, I can tell you that this kid can shoot.
Maxey & McCain as a backcourt is terrible DEFENSIVELY! However I could see Nurse allowing them to play together in short stints because of the pressure they could put on some teams with their shooting.
The lack of depth at defensive wings will limit there potential to see the court together but if Morey does acquire a pure perimeter defender with athleticism that would open the door.
There ability to shoot from deep, create and scorer is intriguing and will take the league by surprise if they in fact do mesh well.
To touch on your point about the fast break and teammates not running with maxey, is because nobody is fast enough to run with him. He outruns everyone on the floor to the rim.
as a 76er fan I wanted mccain, think all mccain will learn from maxey. rookie maxey shot 28% from 3, and developed. in mccain first summer league game he shot 6/15 0/6 from three, the shots will fall but he showed his great finishing like maxey. he’s a mini maxey he’s perfect for us
He's also been somewhat constrained by his college team where they focused on getting wide open looks from 3, so a lot of McCain's shooting percentage comes from wide open shots and he hasn't been able to really develop a consistent 3 off the dribble yet. Sounds pretty familiar because thats exactly how Maxey was when he entered the league.
Also, summer league games are notoriously bad for shooters because there is basically no structure to the team and everyone is just trying to put together highlight reels to get signed onto a gleague or nba roster. So what you end up getting is the shooters trying to force up bad shots a lot of the time, where in a real team environment there would be plays designed to find open 3's.
You right, Philly gone hurt his feelings.
Philly embraces uzi vert ctfu Jared will be alright
@@sinsoreshippromotesconform8218 I hate to admit it, but u are right I don't listen to Uzi's music but he from Philly n I rep dat no matter what💯
@@pookjones3019 not saying I’m a fan of uzi but if Philly embraces him then I don’t see why they wouldn’t for Jared. As long as he plays hard and shows love he’ll get the respect
I hope this kid turns out to be what we all hope for and this team needs. Seems like a nice and genuine person. My only fear is his desire to be the best. With all the money he makes from social media he doesnt need to be an nba player. That usually creates laziness. Heres hoping im wrong
He's the real deal nothing fake about him.
@OmaAlkebulan-grace I don't think hes fake. I'm just a little worried basketball won't be his #1 passion
nah mccain's draft story just sounds like a 2k storyline lol
What a time for Philly sports 👏 Phillies best record in baseball, Eagles got Saquan, 76ers gonna cook the Celtics in 2025
I’ll believe McCain is a sixer when the off-season is over and he suits up in the first game. Until then I see him as a piece that could be used to land a starting 2 or another forward. Ever since my 6ers traded away Mikal Bridges I just don’t trust them to keep their picks 😅. I do think he could be a valuable piece off th e bench for the sixers tho…and could find significant play time sooner than expected. I could see him playing 15-20 minutes a night off the bench for them.
Agreed. I still love my 6ers but the Mikal Bridges trade is unforgivable.
Nah we keeping him Kelly is our starting 2
I think its most likely that McCain eventually earns his minutes as Maxey's backup because Maxey plays the most minutes on the team which leaves his backup with about 8minutes a game. This is nice for Philly because they are very similar players and can design their offense around essentially having a Maxey type player at the point all game long.
Another reason why I suspect this to happen is because Lowry is definitely going to get most of his minutes at the 2, because Maxey and McCain are still learning how to be effective point guards, so Lowry's experience as a point guard allows the Sixers the opportunity to split Maxey/McCain's positions in half off/on ball. Both of them are lightsout off ball catch and shoot players. Also, Lowry is a Nick Nurse guy and there is no way in hell Nurse is going to keep him on the bench. If lowry takes minutes from the wing players he can get 20+ minutes a game, even though he will primarily be responsible for on ball playmaking because Maxey/McCain will shift to mostly offball when Lowry is on the court.
Then next year, or the year after that I fully expect Maxey and McCain to gain such a good synergy and competitive drive with eachother that they will be played side by side dynamically trading on ball/off ball possessions to give eachother more opportunities to shoot the easy catch and shoot 3s, get easy points on fast breaks, or blow by defenders with their drives and kick outs.
I honestly feel like there is no way McCain fails in the Sixers. Maxey talks about how grateful he is that Embiid believed in him all of the time, so I'm sure he will recognize McCain as someone that needs his support. As long as McCain's work ethic is as good as they say it is, Maxey is definitely going to take McCain under his wing and pour all of his effort into teaching him the skills that he needs to survive in the NBA as an undersized guard. It won't be long until they start competing with eachother in the gym and pushing eachother to grow.
I second everything you said!
Morey drafted him in the event they missed on PG13 and had to trade for a star. McCain is more appealing to a team going into a rebuild than Knecht would’ve been
Yup everyone too worried about his tik tok and not his game
Where does Maxey take most of his threes from? He takes a lot of side threes, I think that’s where most of his step back threes come from.
calling James Harden egotistical is wild
it’s not wild at all lmao, have you been living under a rock for the last five years ?
McCain and castle are my rooks this year
Curry and Ellis were small in the back court and dangerous
Where are all the McCainiacs at?
Sixers I like Hachimura, Let's go Sixers 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
I figure KNect woulda been a better fit given the timeline but no doubt McCain's ceiling is much higher than the Tennessee sharp-shooter!!!
Don’t forget we had Ricky council and BBall Paul
McCain looks like George Niang
We are going to the finals🎉
sixers still getting bounced first or 2nd round they have had MULTIPLE good teams
Either way you chop it up, they are both undersized guards who will make the Sixers pay on defense.
Lowry resigned with the 76ers so a vet on the squad is gonna be nice
Give me a hard working man over a god gifted lazy talent. Ill take the hard worker 10 out if 10 times.
💥💥You like the Jared McCain pick? I don't we already got a 6'2 guard in maxey. This guy can't play on the same court with Maxey because he's 6'2. I would've took Dalton Kinect. I'm not really a fan of the pick the McCain pick.
Also the whole tik tok thing and painting his fingernails that stuff weird.
I’m two days into college
This is a pretty lousy analysis comparing what the Sixers had last year compared to this year. The team was subpar last year, but allowed Maxey to flourish. Adding McCain will take touches away from Maxey and hurt his game. Also McCain was rebounding against shorter big men in college, idk why you think that’ll translate in the bigs
Rebounds always translate into the NBA for guards because they are mostly rebounding 3 point shots which bounce outside of the paint and require the skill to predict the trajectory and bounce to get into position to grab the rebound. Guards also usually have a great vertical leap and rebounders in the paint often get lazy about jumping, so its not uncommon to see a small guy snatch a rebound away in traffic. Forwards that are undersized on the otherhand often struggle to get rebounds.
Also, McCain is brand new, he is not going to take touches away from Maxey, most likely he will just mop up the time Maxey spends on the bench resting which is only like 8 minutes a game. Plus, he might need to cover some minutes left behind by Lowry if he gets injured during the season.
McCain should and will be either Backup PG or SG.
Can’t do the fingernails probably has his toenails done red white & blue 😂😂
Undersized IN A LEAGUE THAT PLAYS NO DEFENSE
If Mccain balls out as much as he’s sassy he’ll be 🔥
if his balls are out, he wont be sassy
Amennn Follow god and love god amennn and god loves you All Amennn
Nobody can make me hate Jared bruh
If Embid can't do it next year he needs to give back his MVP trophy and just admit his not that guy. I am tired of this guy whining man.
Give the kid a chance
Ha! Welcome to Philly McClain, writers are already doubting you due to your performance lack in the Summer League. Traitors indeed ..
All the weird sht aside I think this kid is going to ball
I don’t think he’ll get much playing time this season, Eric Gordan is going to get most, if not all back up SG minutes, and I think the 6ers will sign one of Lowry, Fultz, or Payne.
Probably Lowry
@@ghostface_7 That’s who I think too. He’s probably the best suited to continue teaching Tyrese and McCain the position and how to be pro’s.
McCain start ???
bro i wish jared went to t wovlevs but we got robbed dillinghwm
no guarantees bruh -------+ go 76
Great video but bad team chemistry? Seriously? Harden Maxey and Embiid had arguably the best chemistry of any lineup in the Embiid era. Also egotistical co-star? Come on man. Harden led the league in assists in 22-23 and showed 0 signs of ego affecting his game negatively AT ALL.
Dude left the team because of a fight between him and the front office specifically Morey. Literally NOTHING to do with any kind of bad chemistry with the team. Maxey still praises Harden to this day for what he taught him and he would not be as good as he is today without him. I love the content but don't spit BS agendas like that into these videos when it's just straight up not true.
cmon sixers, nick nurse,, you better use this guy properly! yall better not use eric gordon over him
We'll look at this like taking markell fultz over Jason Tatum.
Jared Maccain is good player why tf do they think his not good just bc of his tiktok
McCain is killing is summer league. .
Jared is popular, why saying hated ????
Let’s gooo
RING THAT BELL!!!!
Yes yes ye........s so so so glad Tobas is gone best day for the sixer's 😂😂
