I like how you’ll even break down plays that end in a missed shot. Shows that you aren’t just looking at the highlights. Youre watching the whole game.
I love these "weak draft class" years. It just means that the good players are spread out all over the place and it shows who the really good GM's are. Getting a top pick when there are obvious stand outs is much easier than having a more even field to evaluate. The 76ers have been getting some good young players over the years.
The ability to create on the ball and move off the ball is such an insane thing to have as a rookie. He's presence on the floor is basically screaming for opportunities over opportunities
His confidence and passion and pure glee while he plays makes him such a joy to watch, he really is like Maxey 2.0. But he’s doing a,k this a couple years earlier. It’s wild. And the kid isn’t just hitting shots but he is making the correct decision like 99% of the time. Which is insane for a rookie guard.
12:25 This play was even better than you mentioned, because that whole time he was going under the basket he was staring down the shooter in the corner, which drew Bron away from the cutter and led to the basket.
The editing and narration discussion of how McCain scores in various ways was just so smooth. Excellent piece of sync'd editing and voice over. Subbed!
As a sixers fan, im mostly dead inside, moreso than most seasons. But this kid is so much fun to watch. Its similar to the fun of the process years, and provides an out so i dont have a psychotic break
I been saying Jared Mccain was gonna be good, really wanted him on the Heat. (Mostly cause I just like the guy but he's playing better than anyone thought)
I wish the Sixers would consider starting fresh, building around Mcain and Maxey this offseason. I'm just so tired and frustated that Joel and PG are constantly injured.
What makes him so good besides shooting skills, confidence & ability is his HIGH basketball IQ. It's like he's thinking 2 steps ahead and always in the right spot.
Yeah definitely like what I see from him this far, although as you mentioned using or improving on his left hand along w developing a more consistent floater can add to his efficiency in the paint
We'll flopping is an art of getting fouls which benefits your Team, even Dennis Rodman used to flop to gain ball possession, only casuals see flopping as a Weak move but don't know its benefits 🤦
Jared Mccain is playing probably the most efficient and consistent rookie season from a point guard or any player ever that should answer your question
McCain performance is NOT a surprise. This is a result of his hard work. He's been disciplined physically and mentally for the last four years. His unique kindness and family oriented behavior is a big part of his success on the court. To all of the past TROLLERS, this is a reminder that cream always rises to the TOP-
He has elite basketball IQ. His ability to adapt is impressive. He got his shot blocked all through summer league and looked bad for the most part. Watching score at all three levels and create for others is fun to watch
Seeing him pass out of a shot just to sprint to the three point line to reload for a three-pointer reminds me so much of Steph. We're finally starting to see the kids that grew up watching steph come into the league. Working for it off the ball and with easy cuts rather than just pulling heat checks from the logo. Love to see it.
I love the kid but his ceiling is has a definitive ceiling to growth for the 3 reasons you said and one you didnt. He's got a slow handle & is very right hand dominant. He needs to work on his left extensively, particularly as a finisher as you mentioned. Playing next to Embiid who draws defenders insider doesnt help as someone like Curry benefitted from open lanes next to Draymond. But, pairing him with Maxey is smart because maxey is one of the better G finishers in the league with his touch. I do see him getting better because both he & Maxey work extensively on their games. His biggest flaw on offense is the lack of explosiveness to drive by guys who he gets a step on like you described but I do think he can improve on it slightly with more off-season work. His passing; not vision is lacking, if you watch him its clear he sees the passes, he's just not good enough of a ball handler to make the pass on time, he needs to work on passing angles to take the next step on offense or he will be limited to a bench scoring role. He & Maxey can work as a small G lineup but only if both can playmake together for others. Finally his defense, he lacks the ability to be a good defender simply because of his lack of size & length. Steph Curry overcame this with a defensive scheme that hid him as much as possible AND by being a very smart defender. I'm not sure if he has the spacial awareness to become a good defender. But having a healthy Joel Embiid will overcome that as Embiid is a top 5-10 defense by himself.
I think most of these are definitionally not a ceilings, a ceiling is something you can't break or "aren't supposed to be able to break" but all of what you said are skills he can and is expected to improve on over his time at the league. It's like saying someone's ceiling is how good they are at shooting-there is no ceiling you just get better at it or you don't. The last one is definitely an actual ceiling, he's a small gaurd and that's going to make it hard for him no matter what. Everything else he can improve on
This channel deserves more subs and more views. Most NBA UA-camrs are not as nuanced in their analysis. I don't think that I'll ever hear :"He cooked" on this channel. lol
It’s wild to see him go from “ehh I dunno if he will even get big minutes” to finishing out games for us and being our best, most consistent player, it’s wild. I have never seen anything like it and I hope he doesn’t think too much about it and just keeps ballin.
Doubt we have worry about that. If you see his UA-cam Videos of him throughout HS, you can see the kid's super focused on Working and achieving his goals.
He's been carrying a heavy load so he definitely deserves some leeway, but he's really struggled shooting the ball. 39% from the field and 26.5% from 3 through his first 8. Today was only his 2nd game of the season shooting above 48%.
I think one of the most important parts about his game is confidence. He believes he's the best rookie and he's obviously used to the spotlight at this point.
Its MCW story no doubt, I am just saying that he has a similar advantageous situation where the team is bad and does not play anything , he's first option while it is not a first in in a healthy team , but what will happen to the rest of his career? when Embiid, PG and Maxey come back he will be 6th man and his stats will suddenly decrease
Anyone who was paying attention knows how good this kid is. I think his extra curriculars is what put him down in the draft ridiculously. Watch rob dillingham
I think the 76ers can rebuild, very quickly, by trading Embiid for 2 high quality role players. McCain, Maxey and PG13 with a deep bench can be amazing.
I wanted McCain on the Magic more than any other player this offseason - was preaching that he was the best player in this draft all pre-draft, a cross between Steph, Brunson, and Donovan Mitchell. I thought he was the player most likely to achieve star status and knew he would make it to 10 or lower in the draft due to league idiocy, and wanted the Magic to trade up this draft for him - the Magic could use an offensive stud at the guard position, especially point guard.
I was saying the same thing. Wouldn't have said he was the best player but he was far and away the best fit for the Magic, a great offensive player to help an already great defense.
I for real thought he was gonna be a good player not this good right off but I don’t understand why people thought he wasn’t gonna be good he’s hella confident which is a big factor
I like how you’ll even break down plays that end in a missed shot. Shows that you aren’t just looking at the highlights. Youre watching the whole game.
Process > Results!
Where do you find full game footage?
Who’s here after McCain just scored 30?

Couldn't agree more! Really hope we get to see him with the other guys healthy.
I know right. His plays basically told Nurse that "look, I know you hate playing a rookie, but if you don't play me more, you'll lose your job"
Hes so smooth he looks like he's on the court by himself practicing during the actual game🦾
Excellent player breakdown 👏🏼
Despite Daryl Moreys mess in the trade market. His draft picks have been golden.
Maxey and McCain as late as they were in round 1 is crazy.
Morey didn't draft Maxey.. he acknowledged that was Elton Brand's decision at the time
@@fdij-l4ulet’s be real, he’s just saying that to make Elton look good. If it were up to Elton the sixers would be dog shit
@@fdij-l4udude the only thing Brand does is make coffee

jared mccain is a beast. Keep up the good work Hoop Venue! First
Appreciate the support!

It’s crazy sixers drafting better with high pics but had 2 number 1s that were duds
jared gotta carry their superstar podcaster
As a sixers fan, im mostly dead inside, moreso than most seasons. But this kid is so much fun to watch. Its similar to the fun of the process years, and provides an out so i dont have a psychotic break
Jared looks alot like a young Steph Curry

I smell a Dalton video coming! I can't wait!
Been a fan since Centennial days. I visited Centennial just to see McCain before he goes to college :)
5:13 joel embiid flop highlight
He's got more flop highlights and good play highlights this season.
We'll flopping is an art of getting fouls which benefits your Team, even Dennis Rodman used to flop to gain ball possession, only casuals see flopping as a Weak move but don't know its benefits 🤦
From what you’ve seen so far who’s better Jared or Dalton & why?
Definitely Jared right now. Dalton's been awesome, but Jared's shown serious on-ball capability on a whole different level.
agreed, he shows some serious on-ball threats to defense while dalton has some serious potential to be an elite spot up shooter @@HoopVenue
Jared has the edge so far.
Jared Mccain is playing probably the most efficient and consistent rookie season from a point guard or any player ever that should answer your question
Dalton is a cut, 3 and d player rn

He’s basically a Jalen Brunson Steph Curry hybrid..

We're finally starting to see the kids that grew up watching steph come into the league. Working for it off the ball and with easy cuts rather than just pulling heat checks from the logo. Love to see it.
You sound like benson from regular show
Jared is basically Damian Lillard lite, Dalton is JJ Reddick
IDK know about that. He's already playing better defense than Lillard.
@@Davivd2😂
Nah more like a shorter version of Klay Thompson.
@@ousmandiallo2823his ball handling is much much better than Klay even in his prime
@@Davivd2a traffic cone plays better defense than lilliard

Bros the opposite of awful coaching😭
Great analysis my guy!
I like how bro didn’t show the same replays and break down the good and bad 👍👍
Looks very similar to Stephs movements
That's what i've seen too !
Great work!
2:09 that Knicks player on the bench low-ley trynna be the sixth man on the floor
Good video Mr. Venue.
He has Mahomes energy. What a draft steal.
This channel deserves more subs and more views. Most NBA UA-camrs are not as nuanced in their analysis. I don't think that I'll ever hear :"He cooked" on this channel. lol
Really glad you enjoy!
great analysis!
Thank you!
8:43 Dlo saying double dribble LMAOO nah bro you got Hesi’d baddd

Maxey has only had one bad game this season and was on minutes restriction, how can you say he's really struggled when he's been in rotation?
He's been carrying a heavy load so he definitely deserves some leeway, but he's really struggled shooting the ball. 39% from the field and 26.5% from 3 through his first 8. Today was only his 2nd game of the season shooting above 48%.
This kid is special, mark my words he's going to be one of the faces of the nba in 5 years.
I think one of the most important parts about his game is confidence. He believes he's the best rookie and he's obviously used to the spotlight at this point.
philly tanking for Cooper
U gotta make a vid on franz.This dude is on the verge of being an all star for the first time.
Dat boi cold 🥶 ROTY ez
He has not brought into the rookie Matrix he is the One.
Can you do Donovan Clingan or the defense of any of the rookies that have caught your eye?
Thank you
i dont know but i do think the players now in the league dont really study and work on defensing foot stpes, but Jared is phenominal as a rookie
Ngl, he reminds me of Rookie sophomore book! Which is great
Well he did it again
great video, but im pretty sure 7:18 was only a hesi bc you paused the film there lol
Its MCW story no doubt, I am just saying that he has a similar advantageous situation where the team is bad and does not play anything , he's first option while it is not a first in in a healthy team , but what will happen to the rest of his career? when Embiid, PG and Maxey come back he will be 6th man and his stats will suddenly decrease
in 10 years, this could be the best draft class of the 2020s.
Anyone who was paying attention knows how good this kid is. I think his extra curriculars is what put him down in the draft ridiculously. Watch rob dillingham
I think McCain is the type of worker who will improve around the rim… coaches have said he’s a gym rat 💯
I think the 76ers can rebuild, very quickly, by trading Embiid for 2 high quality role players.
McCain, Maxey and PG13 with a deep bench can be amazing.

We keep expectimg some major drop off for the rookie. Im hopimg he makes us all stop saying, " I know he's a rookie but".
What would be your list of the top 10 rookies so far?
He’s the bright spot in this abysmal Sixers season
mans really sound like Benson, crazy
Does anyone else feel sad that the 76ers got another good player because you know there gonna fuck it up.
Man he carried at 3:16 lol
And walked
Thought I was tripping 😂
MAKE A VIDEO ON TY JEROME
Jared MCcain is carrying the 76sixers😭
So surprised he fell out the lottery if y’all watched him in hs he been a dawg
Make a vid on lamelo ball plz
Build around him and Maxey. 😮
Bold call but McCain>Maxey
Double ad no skip smh
bro glazes him then he gets cooked at the end of the clip😂
so he's Isagi?
The M&M brothers.
How's his defense?
He's strong for his size, serviceable atm.
I mean he won state in SoCal #2 high school team in nation went 1 and done at duke
He FROZE Jonathan Isaac’s wtf lol
Dalton vs McCain
I thought he will be this good by January or February, not this early.
A shorter version of Klay. He’s a better basketball player than Maxey. Maxey just use speed.McCain is methodical .
Must practice with left hands.
He is a well rounded basketball player not amazing but solid
lol he’s a rookie. And dropping 30. Too early to call him just solid
They said that about curry to
Isn’t he the 💅 guy?
Yes
If he was a Knick i would subscribe to his TikTok account😊
hes gon kill the knicks in the playoffs
@ if they make it there
no views?
That just means you're a GOAT.
@@HoopVenue🙌
Obviously you wasn’t watching Duke last season
Regardless of how much someone watched or didn't watch, 20 year old guards virtually never come into the NBA this good, right away.
Get rid of Embiid for picks and young talent 👏 Should of when his value was high!!! 😮 Trade PG13 to golden state ✨️ 💛 for young talent.
Roy
THEY ARE 3-12
He’s talking about Jared not the team
I still can't rock with painted nails.
His special awareness is insane
Spacial , but yes
i think Jared McCain is Jesus Christ.
Dalton Knecht will be Rookie of the Year
Idc they the worst team
