Philadelphia 76ers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
McCain put together a strong rookie campaign before a knee injury brought his campaign to a premature end. He ended by playing just 23 games, during which he averaged 15.3 points to go with 2.6 assists and 2.2 three-pointers. Despite his impressive play, McCain now has to deal with VJ Edgecombe, as well as an emerging Quentin Grimes, not to mention Tyrese Maxey. Given that a lot of what McCain did last season came at a time when the team was dealing with injuries, it's hard to see him stepping into a larger role, at least in the short term. The 76ers are no strangers when it comes to injuries, so perhaps he will get an opportunity at some point during the season. Look for McCain to log minutes in the mid-20s when healthy. He underwent thumb surgery at the end of September and could miss the first month of the regular season. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

McCain is one-and-done after joining the Blue Devils as a five-star recruit, a 2023 McDonald's All-American and California Mr. Basketball. McCain also won gold while representing the United States at the FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship. A viral content creator with nearly three million followers on TikTok, McCain averaged 14.3 points on 46.2% shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 36 starts this season. McCain's pedigree carried over to two 30-point performances in the NCAA Tournament, as well as seven games with at least four made 3s this season - flashes of serious next-level scoring ability. Scoring is the appeal, as McCain is a two-way competitor but shouldn't be considered as a sure-fire asset on the defensive end in the NBA. Offensively, he ranked in the 81st percentile for off-the-dribble shooting efficiency, while also knocking down 42.1% of 160 catch-and-shoot 3s on the year. McCain can put the ball on the deck as well, converting 62.5% of his shots at the rim while ranking in the 37th percentile for frequency among guards nationwide. Being an attentive defender and possessing a sturdy frame work in his favor as well, but McCain's size nonetheless shifts pressure to his offense translating. McCain almost never turned the ball over (453rd-lowest TO rate in the nation), finishing with a modest but commendable 68/47 assist-to-turnover ratio. His decision-making as a freshman shows combo-guard upside, but expect McCain to settle in as a shooter off the bench in his first NBA season. Lonnie Walker IV is a more explosive athlete (McCain only had one dunk at Duke), but an offensively-oriented guard like Walker - or the ongoing twilight years of Eric Gordon - represent the vision of McCain's floor. His ability to shoot off screens will provide offensive utility, while a swing factor to monitor will be his handle.

Returns after rough G League outing
GPhiladelphia 76ers
January 19, 2026
The 76ers recalled McCain from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday.
ANALYSIS
McCain will suit up for the 76ers in Monday's game against the Pacers, but after falling out of the rotation in the team's most recent game Friday against the Cavaliers, he may not be in line for playing time unless Paul George (knee) -- who is listed as questionable -- ends up sitting out the front end of a back-to-back set. The second-year guard didn't make a compelling case for rejoining the NBA rotation after a rough showing in the G League on Sunday. During Delaware's 126-102 loss to the Noblesville Boom, McCain was held to 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and posted a 0:6 assist-to-turnover ratio in his 30 minutes of court time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shooting woes cause demotion?
GPhiladelphia 76ers
January 19, 2026
McCain was assigned to the 76ers' G League affiliate on Saturday due to his inability to keep a role in the rotation this season, according to Kyke Neubeck of PHLY.
ANALYSIS
McCain's biggest issue in his second year in the league has been his efficiency struggles, as he's shooting just 35.4 percent from the floor and 32.3 percent from beyond the arc, compared to his 46.0 percent overall and 38.3 percent from three as a rookie. McCain isn't expected to return to the Sixers' roster until he shows a clear improvement in his shooting numbers.
