[@PointB1ank]

I've been on the McCain train, never liked the Knecht pick personally. I think that determination, drive, and self-belief mean way more in the NBA than some college stats. Kobe was only drafted 13th and he turned into one of the GOATs because of those characteristics. Jared works hard as hell from what I've seen and that goes a long way, especially for Philly fans.

[@Wazzup25]

Funny that you mentioned Kobe that's Jared's favorite player. I guess that's where that mentality from

McCains pick and roll could be pretty affective. He knows how to attack the basket or find his spot for a jumper, while also being able to find the rollers pocket.

[@RunItBackPhilly]

Yessir he’s very well rounded and a really smart player

[@BikeTrail]

There was a McCain blockout of Siakam that was terrific.

[@leroybrown505]

I love that spin move of his, I use that all the time in basketball. You go one way, than switch to the other, opens up the path for a shot. Seeing Mccain play is like watching a Veteren. Basketball is common sense that even most nba players dont get

[@greeneggsandham91]

I was just thrilled he got 17 minutes of playing time instead of a few garbage minutes like the first two games. Glad the coach was able to see through his rose colored vet player glasses to the reality that only one other healthy player on the roster can create besides Maxey right now. I thought a reasonable expectation for McCain going into the season was to replicate similar production to Maxey's rookie season. I think Maxey averaged 8ppg on about 15-20 minutes per game as a rookie. He contributed right away despite his age, and that was even with Doc coaching the team and holding him back any chance he could get.

got no problem with McCain missing shots - shooters just need time to find their shot and he's a shot maker. Look at our man Maxey - took 2.5 games to find his shot but then blammo. He's got the tools and confidence to be very good in this league.

[@Bentley7Cruize]

I would play him 20 mins a game unless he does something crazy. Let Jared play 38 and you got your rotation. Let him make his mistakes bow, by January he will be a top 15 backup easily

[@Wazzup25]

Yes it's best to let him get all of his rookie mistakes and jitters out now at the beginning of the season

[@cobra4642]

These young guys can play and they can also take a huge amount of pressure off the veterans if you let them play. You shouldn't have to go through a rebuild to see what these young players have to offer. This lack of young player contribution is all on Nurse he's the one who doesn't trust them and won't play them. The Sixers went out and signed 3 washed up guards this off season when they had the answer on the roster already.

[@faustoutloud]

Anyone else remember when DJ Eastwood craped on this draft pick a few months ago saying we got a tictoker lol this kids a baller bro hes going to be great I can see that as much as I could see Maxey when we drafted him similar characteristics ❤

[@yamyamyams2629]

it is a bad pick when you consider they passed on Knecht

[@PathOfRage]

Big kid. He was wider than some of the forwards on the court 😂. He's one off-season of weight training regimen from being a Jalen Brunson bully back down type guard. Guard the 1, some 2's, even 3's.

As an Australian living in Sydney, I am embarrassed for this scrub Ben Simmons. How can anyone play Basketball and refuse to shoot. He’s six foot 10 and unless it’s a dunk he won’t dare look at the basket. Remember when he averaged 17 points a match in 2018/19. How did he do that. He should return to Australia and play for the Sydney Kings. His career in USA is soooo done

"momentum killing, poor shooting, low IQ, subpar defender" - wow, we wouldn't be that harsh after just 3 games...but it is accurate...just add heartless cowardly lion and that about sums Toby up. Seriously, I'm curious how we would feel about him if we only paid him what Caleb is getting? I'm guessing, if that were the case, we'd cheer him Wednesday night rather than what he's got coming. By all accounts a great person who at the very least remained a professional throughout his time here, but he was the main obstacle to assembling a championship team around Embiid. So, boo or cheer, doesn't matter...I'm just glad he's gone!

He wouldn’t have been playing 38 minutes per game if he was getting what Caleb was getting he would have been just a random role player and would have gotten benched a LOT more lol
