Since making his return from a couple of injuries that sidelined him for almost an entire calendary year, Jared McCain has become the subject of numerous discourses surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers. Unfortunately, a bulk of those discussions have veered into the side of pessimism, with fans now having mixed sentiments about his future with the franchise.
Obviously, it is silly to make a sweeping pronouncement that McCain’s footing on the roster has become shaky. After all, he needs a lengthy wind-up before he can truly regain his rhythm as a scorer-first guard. However, Nick Nurse and the coaching staff seems to have deployed him in funky ways, as his minutes early on were sparse at best.
