Jared McCain Scouting Report | 2024 NBA Draft Breakdowns

Jared McCain established himself as one of the draft's best shooters and a tough guard with good feel on both ends. Questions about his ability to run the show as a playmaker and in his role at 6'2 are there in some ways but he's a good bet to contribute, regardless.

Babe wake up, new hoop intellect draft analysis just dropped

[climcheat]

I have so much confidence on this dude. Will probably have great success in the NBA

Thank you for another great profile! I know this is supposed to be a weak draft, but these mid-1st-round prospects look like a decent group for instant impact minutes for playoff teams: OKC at 12, Sac 13, Miami, Philly, Lakers, Orlando 15-18; there are some interesting guards and front-court players to look at. This should be an interesting draft...

I'm curious how you might rank these smaller guards and 2 guards for fit with teams, because Carter, Collier, and McCain are totally different players, but look useful. And for 2s like Walter, Furphy, Shannon Jr, George, Tyson -- this group is pretty intriguing, low-key underrated?

Jared McCain will be a safe pick for someone and can definitely help a team with his shooting.

I see Desmond Bane upside but more likely he's just a good role player. Movement shooting is always valuable and he seems to have solid enough playmaking upside to be able to punish hard closeouts. I think his game will translate really well to the NBA with improved spacing. As long as he can hold up defensively, he should be good

[StellarsJay]

I see a lot of similarities to Malcom Brogdon in the way his game looks. Prettier shot than Malcom though.

McCain is an intriguing prospect, could be a good selection in the late first or late lottery.

[G_WillPower]

Gives me some Derrick White vibes. He’ll have a decade long career for sure

[WestCoastCheeseHead]

He reminds me of CJ McCollum when he came out of Lehigh, CJ didn’t have a great handle when he was coming out either and I think McCain can be a FLAMETHROWER from 3

[BucsDucs]

It's a weird draft, but I think I kinda like these undersized guards (Sheppard, Carter, and McCain). Sheppard and Carter are probably top 5 guys in this class for me. McCain isn't there but I do like him quite a bit.

[lgflex]

As a Sixers fan I was deadass thinking Seth curry to lmao

[TrayMoney]

Bro will be a great fit at the 2 in Philly, honestly his shooting and solid defense can earn him a starting spot between Maxey and Oubre at the 2. PG13 at the 4

[AllDay]

I think he's going to be one of the best players in this draft. I'd draft him at pick 3 if I were the Rockets and I couldn't find a trade down partner

[smoothhoops]

He reminds me of Tyler Herro. Gonna be a high impact guy off of a great teams bench

[tgwilkinson]

Did you prefer McCain or Sasser coming out as undersized off ball guard who can shoot the leather off it?

[charlierobinson]

Any chance you could get a Daron Holmes breakdown in before the draft? Love the vids dude keep it up

[Forgetaboutit]

This is a perfect pick for the magic. Hoping this is where he lands.

[survivingwatson]

him and maxey with embiid down low on O/in transition after blocks is gon be such a problem

[diegosantacruz]

i think he's maxey without the insane burst/speed, which is a big part of maxey's game lol

[brendandougherty]

I think a bit more burst than you gave him credit for, but nonetheless great breakdown
