First round draft pick and former Duke Blue Devils marksman Jared McCain opened up his NBA rookie debut for the Philadelphia 76ers Monday night with an impressive debut.
In his opening campaign the rookie scored 15 points ( 3-5 from the charity stripe), 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals in a 102-92 win. If there was a knock on his shooting, the perimeter shots were the only obstacle, with McCain going 0-6 from downtown.
Despite the cold shooting from deep, Jared was able to impact the game in other areas, including his constant will to attack the rim and hustle plays on defense leading to transition points.
Next up for the rookie and 76ers is a matchup on ESPN Tuesday night, 7PM against the Memphis Grizzlies.
