Description

The Philadelphia 76ers have struggled without Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey — raising some real concerns. But there has been one true bright spot for the team — rookie Jared McCain. Over the last four contests, McCain is averaging 25.5 points per game and has made a strong case to remain in Nick Nurse’s rotation. But the real question needs to be… should he be considered for a starting spot in the backcourt with Maxey when he returns?

The PHLY Sixers team discusses the possible fit as a starter for the rookie and how his play might work alongside the Big 3.
