Jared McCain is making noise at his first Philadelphia 76ers training camp.
Typically, early-to-mid first-round prospects land in situations where they have a high chance of cracking their team’s rotation in year one. For McCain, he ended up on a team that hasn’t missed the playoffs in over five years.
Having value on both ends of the floor as a guard is the quickest way to earn minutes under Nick Nurse. McCain won’t be looked at to come in right away and star in Philly’s backcourt. Therefore, he has to do the little things to stay on his head coach’s radar. Growing pains are accepted and expected for young players coming into the league, and veterans don’t tend to take it easy on them as they want to sharpen their young talents. Nurse noted that McCain “really had to work” as his veteran teammates refused to take it easy on him through his first two days.
