Jared McCain Draft Update

Things are looking up for Duke’s charismatic guard

Jared McCain had a terrific freshman year at Duke and leaves after making a big impression. On the one hand, he won Blue Devil fans over with his personality and charisma and on the other, with a tougher than expected game. Just 6-3, he had several double-figure rebounding games.

Shooting has always been his calling card though and as the NBA Draft process unwinds, people who are watching are realizing just how good a shooter he really is.

Noted analyst Jonathan Givony is certainly impressed, saying this about McCain: “Jared McCain might very well be the best shooter in this draft class. Saw him reel off a ton of 3s with his lightning-quick release at a workout in Chicago.”

Who can’t use an outstanding three-point shooter?

We have no idea what McCain is hoping for or where he might like to play, but this is pretty cool: his hometown team, Sacramento, has apparently been talking to him. The Kings have the #13 pick in the draft and playing at home, where your friends and family can see you, would be pretty cool.
