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

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 maxey 2.0 yall will see it

As a sixer fan he has such a punchable face

on the court and on tiktok

@@user-mw7ie3ci6y Meagan McCain will never come close to Maxey.

The fanbase will tear him up first

Who also both happen to be among the hardest working players in the league

@@Aydin-Adamyessir

@@Aydin-Adamfr

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.

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

Because he's on your team now?

you think he cared- lol

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.

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.

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.

They both have great personalities too. Both great kids. Good role models too.

Most ridiculous comparison, judge the player not where they from.

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.

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

😂

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.

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

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.

it’s not wild at all lmao, have you been living under a rock for the last five years ?

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

if his balls are out, he wont be sassy

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.

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.
