In the 10 games since the 76ers “sold high” on Jared McCain, the Thunder are 7-3 | The Sixers are 4-6 | Jared McCain is averaging 12/3/1 on 48/43/89 splits (61.5 true shooting percent)
Daryl Morey must really be hoping him trading for the pick he traded away makes for a Jeopardy question in a couple of years because the money saved & player he’ll use that pick on in either draft or a future trade isn’t helping the 6th seeded 76ers create some distance from the Orlando Magic for the final non-play-in spot in the Eastern Conference, nor will it stave off the looming free agency question that is pending unrestricted free agent Quentin Grimes future with the team.
Meanwhile, Jared McCain is averaging 12 points, 3 rebounds & an assist on a true shooting percentage of 61.5% while filling in a scoring hole during a time OKC was missing due to injuries to, among other players, Shai and Jalen Williams.
Jared won’t need to be extended for 2 more years and is contributing to winning basketball.
