Where would Philadelphia 76ers' Jared McCain go in redraft of 2024?
The Philadelphia 76ers landed a keeper with the No. 16 pick in the 2024 draft when they landed Duke guard Jared McCain. The Sixers were able to land a dynamic guard with a smooth shooting stroke and an ability to score in a variety of ways.
In 23 games, McCain averaged 15.3 points, 2.6 assists, and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 46% from the floor and 38.3% from deep. His season was cut short due to a torn meniscus in his left knee that he needed surgery on.
He was certainly the leading candidate for Rookie of the Year before the injury which begs the question of where would McCain land in a redraft of 2024? Bleacher Report put together a redraft of 2024 and has McCain going No. 4 overall to the San Antonio Spurs:
Jared McCain was tracking toward runaway Rookie of the Year honors before a left knee injury prematurely ended his season. He would have a stronger case over any of the three in front of him if he played more. But the 23 games in which he appeared more than proved his utility as a shot-maker.
McCain would certainly have gone in the top 5 if teams could re-do things. It remains to be seen if he can be a playmaker and handle things from the point guard spot, but one has to believe that coach Nick Nurse and Co. will certainly help him through that process.
For those who curious of who the Sixers would take at No. 16 in the redraft, B/R as them selecting Isaiah Collier who originally went No. 29 to the Utah Jazz and flashed a ton of potential as a lead playmaker.

Caitlin Clark will miss 5th game with quad strain but could soon start ‘ramping back up'
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark will sit out a fifth consecutive game with a quadriceps strain when Indiana visits Atlanta on Tuesday, shifting the focus to whether the Fever star will return against the WNBA champion New York Liberty. Indiana coach Stephanie White stopped short Monday of saying Clark had been cleared for basketball activities, saying the club was ready for the reigning Rookie of the Year to start 'ramping back up.' The Fever initially said Clark would miss at least two weeks , and it has been 16 days since Clark was injured in a 90-88 loss to the Liberty . She finished the game, saying later adrenaline likely allowed her to play with the strain. Clark told reporters last week she was targeting a Tuesday return, but said she wouldn't rush it. White reiterated the patience part Monday. The rematch with the Liberty isn't until Saturday at home, which should give Clark some decent practice time. 'We're going to be smart, and we're going to be cautious and we're going to play the long game and work her back in very intentionally,' White said. Clark is averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists and six rebounds in four games this season. This is the first time in her college or pro career that she's missed games. She averaged 19.2 points and a WNBA-leading 8.4 assists as a rookie. The Fever are also without guard Sophie Cunningham, who has been limited to four games by ankle injury. White ruled out Cunningham against the Dream. ___ AP WNBA:
