Kia Rookie Ladder: Jared McCain, Dalton Knecht start taking flight | NBA.com Four rookies make splashes this week, with the 76ers' Jared McCain and Lakers' Dalton Knecht leading the way.
Leading scorer in Monday's loss McCain accumulated 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 106-89 loss to the Heat.
Impact The rookie guard led the Sixers in scoring on the night, even with Joel Embiid in the lineup for only the third time this season. McCain is red hot right now, scoring 20-plus points in five straight games while averaging 26.6 points, 4.4 assists, 4.4 threes, 2.6 boards and 0.8 steals in 33.4 minutes a contest, but his usage will take a hit once Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) is ready to return. McCain, the 16th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, has likely done enough to keep his spot in the starting five, however.

Leading scorer vs. Orlando McCain recorded 29 points (10-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and four assists across 31 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 98-86 loss to the Magic.
Impact Even with Joel Embiid and Paul George returning to action Friday, McCain remained in the 76ers starting lineup off the heels of a career-high 34 points against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. McCain carried that momentum into Friday night, leading the 76ers in scoring while connecting on a team-high five three pointers. The rookie first-round pick is carving a big role for himself, and while his role will diminish when Tyrese Maxey returns from a right hamstring strain, McCain could remain in the starting lineup ahead of veteran Kyle Lowry. Over his last five games, McCain has averaged 26.2 points on 47.9 percent shooting (including 44.0 percent from three on 10.0 3PA/G), 4.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds over 32.2 minutes per contest.

Sticking in starting lineup McCain will remain in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Magic, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact With Paul George (rest), Joel Embiid (rest) and Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) out, McCain made his first start of the season against Cleveland on Wednesday. The rookie exploded for 34 points, 10 assists and two steals in 38 minutes during a 114-106 loss. George and Embiid will be back in action Friday, but McCain is sticking in the starting lineup, sending Kelly Oubre and Guerschon Yabusele to the bench. Over his last four games, McCain has averaged 25.5 points on 45.5 percent shooting.

Explodes for career-high 38 points McCain produced 34 points (12-26 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.
Impact McCain continues to dominate on the offensive end, casually landing a career-high 38 points, while chipping in double-digit assists for the first time. The 76ers were without their three key pieces, affording McCain a ton of playing time. He has scored at least 23 points in three straight games and although this run will likely come to an abrupt end at some point, he is someone to monitor moving forward.

Earns first career start McCain is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact McCain has received at least 30 minutes in three straight games and averaged 22.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists on 45.1 percent shooting from the field. With Paul George (knee) sidelined Wednesday, the 76ers will reward McCain's recent success and give him a spot in the first unit. He'll slot in alongside Kyle Lowry in the backcourt.

Big night off bench McCain posted 23 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 111-99 loss to the Knicks.
Impact The 16th overall pick in the 2024 Draft topped 20 points for the second straight games while draining at least three three-pointers for the third straight contest. McCain has quickly earned a significant role on the Sixers' second unit, and through six games in November he's averaging 15.8 points, 2.3 threes, 2.2 boards and 1.7 assists in 20.7 minutes a contest.

Stays hot in career best showcase McCain totaled 27 points (10-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 overtime victory over the Hornets.
Impact McCain continued his recent hot stretch and strong start to his rookie campaign on Sunday by posting his best outing of his young career. McCain led all Philadelphia players in scoring and threes made, concluding with his first 20-point game of the year and three points shy of the 30-point mark. McCain has tallied at least 18 points in three outings this season, including in two straight games. He has also connected on at least three threes in two consecutive contests.

Jared McCain had a career-high 27 points as the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 107-105 overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday nightNOVEMBER 11 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Drops team-high 18 in loss McCain logged a team-high 18 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-106 loss to the Lakers.
Impact No 76er managed to reach 20 points on the night as Joel Embiid (knee/suspension) and Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) were both sidelined, and Paul George remains on a minutes restriction. McCain's production and court time have been erratic to begin his NBA career, but the 16th overall pick in the 2024 Draft has scored in double digits in three of the last five contests, averaging 11.4 points, 2.0 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.6 steals in 17.0 minutes a game during that stretch.

Lands career-high 19 points McCain logged 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact McCain continued his recent form, scoring a career-high 19 points despite the loss. His role has increased since opening night and he is now firmly ahead of Reggie Jackson in the rotation. Eric Gordon is also struggling to get anything going, leaving McCain as the primary beneficiary. His playing time is worth monitoring, at least until the 76ers gets their two superstars back on the floor.

Impact Philadelphia has been working back its 2024 first-round pick after a hard fall during Wednesday's preseason game against the Nets. McCain was sent to the hospital due to the fall, but he has showed signs of improvements while participating in on-court activities and drills. While the 20-year-old won't suit up for the team's scrimmage, his participation in drills bodes well for a potential return during the 76ers' regular-season opener against the Bucks on Wednesday.
