Ranking of American high school students (2023): On3 ranked 13th (five stars), 247 ranked 14th (five stars), ESPN ranked 10th (five stars), Rivals ranked 11th (five stars)
This season's data: 36 appearances, 31.6 minutes per game, 14.3 points, 5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.1 blocks, 1.3 mistakes, 46.2% shooting, 41.4% three-point shooting and 88.5% free throw shooting.
Advantages:
McCain is a backcourt player with comprehensive ability. He has excellent shooting ability on the offensive end. His shooting style and movement are very standard. His shooting speed is extremely fast. He can shoot at all positions on the court. His shooting range has reached the standard of the NBA. In addition, his excellent ability to move without the ball and accurate free throws, We have every reason to believe that he will become an excellent pitcher after entering the NBA. As a No. 2 player, McCain's passing ability, organizational ability and overall view are also good. He has the ability to find teammates in empty positions, and his passing speed is not slow. He has the ability to insight into the opponent's defense. McCain also has a certain ability to hold the ball and attack. He can also use his own technology and rhythm changes to complete the breakthrough and create space and opportunities for himself. His ability to control and dribble the ball is good, and he also has excellent ability to finish under the basket. McCain's comprehensive ability at the defensive end may be slightly average, but his performance in rebounding protection is beyond everyone's expectations. His rebounding protection ability seems to be a very excellent level among players at the same position.
inferiority:
From the look and feel of the game, John McCain is not a player with outstanding athletic ability. His impact and explosive power look ordinary, and there is a clear gap between him and top players. From the physical test data of the previous joint trial training, the speed of bounce and 3/4 field sprint is really very bad. The lack of enough explosive force and impact will also make people worried about his performance on the defensive end when facing higher level defenders. How high his upper limit is is also a question mark. McCain's static talent is also bad. His height, arm span and standing touch are almost the level of the players in the first position, which is very difficult among the players in the second position, and his playing method is close to the players in the second position, which will also make people doubt his role in defense. In addition, his confrontation ability is also very ordinary. He may become a big leak on the defensive end, and his positioning in the NBA arena is also somewhat unchanged.
Expected market:
From the current situation, with the relatively good performance this season, McCain's draft market is actually good. He is considered to have the opportunity to be selected in the middle and later stages of the first round, and because his performance has been steadily improving throughout the season, his draft market is also rising. McCain may not be a player with a particularly high ceiling, but considering his shooting ability and his omnipotence on the offensive side, if he can play in a suitable system, his role may also be amplified. He is still capable of providing some help and support to some teams that need to improve their outside shooting threat and scoring ability of the second team.
Personal opinion:
McCain's performance can be quickly associated with the Kuri brothers. However, compared with Stephen Curry, although the two men are quite similar in body shape, McCain can be said to be in an all-round disadvantage in technology. Curry is much better than McCain in ball control and dribbling ability, independent scoring ability, passing and organizing ability and field control ability. Therefore, the current McCain may be closer to the role of Seth Curry, or the role between the Curry brothers. If McCain can get enough training and exercise, and he can quickly improve his personal ability, he may really have a chance to grow into a top backcourt player, but if the development is not smooth, then he may have to play the role of a substitute scorer in the second team.
Target team:
Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento King, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards
As we all know, Magic needs a reliable pitcher to help the team's core players open up space, and McCain obviously perfectly meets this condition; The second team of the Lakers lacks sufficient scoring ability and projection ability, and McCain can obviously bring immediate improvement to the Lakers; The king may consider finding a substitute for Malik Monk, and McCain is an object to consider; The Bucks have to find another qualified outside pitcher after losing Malik Beasley; The Washington Wizards should also be interested in a backcourt player like McCain who has comprehensive offensive capabilities.
