WEBVTT - ROOKIE REPORT: Jared McCain

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>On this episode of the Heat Check, it's time for

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the Rookie Report, your weekly checking, and the rookies are

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>on the leak. How they're doing this week? We check

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>in on pretty much the only reason to watch basketball

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>in Philadelphia. His name is Jared McCain. Anthony my man,

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>drop that motherfucking beat. It should be real.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you watch an NBA covers two days a

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks, actually you know that things have officially

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>hit the band. Before the Philadelphia six we'll get in

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>all the drama because we've got Joel mb getting called

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>out by his teammates.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>We got him coming out and saying that that leak

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>was bullshit. Anyway, Friday, we'll talk about that. The Sixers

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>are currently two and twelve. There are articles now being

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>put out about the Sixers, asking, positing, hypothesizing should they

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.759
<v Speaker 1>just give up the rest of the way. That's how

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>you know it's really bad. Why do I bring this

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>up because there's only one reason, really one bright spot

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>to watch the Philadelphia seventy six ers and to pay

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>attention to what's going on over there, and that's Jared McCain.

0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Jared McCain, you could tell when he was at Duke,

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>he was that guy. He goes sixteenth in the twenty

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty four draft of the Sixers. It probably is one

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>of the only good moves that Daryl Morey has made

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>this offseason. The crazy thing, though, is that Philly never

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>spoke to Jared McCain, not one time in the pre

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>draft process, which I think is very strange. He's a

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>six to two guard out of Duke, best known for

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>being a free spirited TikTok star that paints his nails

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>with three million followers, a guy who does not exactly

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 1>exude the toxic masculinity that Philadelphia is so known for.

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>He was poked by Sixers fans pretty much before the

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>start of the season. Despite going fourteen six and two

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>with the Blue Devils had two thirty point performances in

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.399
<v Speaker 1>March Madness. I fucking love Jared McCain, by the way,

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.800
<v Speaker 1>but I don't hear any negative peeps coming out of

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia now. No, I don't, because Jared McCain is balin' ballin'

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he's the best thing about the Sixers this season.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Considering that Tyrese Maxey has a hamstring injury, his production,

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>of course hasn't increased because Tyrese Maxie is sitting there

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>in street clothes, but also because he's really good. Just

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>because somebody gives you an opportunity doesn't mean they're gonna

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>do anything with that. Jared McCain, you can't keep him

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>off the court. Considering two of the guards that the

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia seventy six ers signed were a thirty five year

0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>old Eric Gordon and a thirty eight year old Kyle

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 1>They have both been cheeks buns this year. If you

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>go back seven games to win, Jared McCain started getting

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>thirty minutes per game. Here are his stats. He is

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>averaging twenty four points, two rebounds, four assists, forty eight

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>percent from the field, forty four percent from deep on

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 1>ten threes per game. Those aren't just good wrecky numbers.

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Those are borderlined all star numbers. Against the best team

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers, McCain put up thirty

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>four and ten, shooting six for thirteen from deep. That

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>made him the ninth rookie since the year two thousand

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>to have a thirty and ten game in regulation. The

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>others Andrew Nemhard pretty good, Luka on Chicks, really good,

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Trey young Ben Simmons. Can't believe that's a Ben Simmons,

0:03:53.640 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>stat Blake Griffin, Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, Lebron James, Jamaal Tinsley, Okay,

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and Steve francis pretty good company considering eight of those

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>guys became All Stars, and probably Andrew Demhard might be

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>one of them one day. Kyle Lowry said this, who's

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in his eighteen season, by the way, said this about

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Jared McCain. I think the one thing he's been so

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>great at is just playing his game and being confident

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>in what he's doing. I think we need that right now.

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>We need that extra pop, we need that extra energy.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's been really good for us to have a

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>guy who's coming in as a young guy giving us

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>that energy and that confidence that he's playing with right now.

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's pretty good. It's pretty cool to watch. I

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 1>think Jeed McCain has already proven he's one of the

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>best four or five rookies in the draft class, and

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>if he keeps giving you thirty and ten, he might

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 1>just end up being Rookie of the Year. Considering that

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Paul George Ree hyper extended his knee again and even

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>when tyre smacks, he comes back. Jared McCain might just

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>be staying on the floor. That's all the time that

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>we have in this episode that heat check. Come back
