Duke’s star freshman Jared McCain has been charge $800,000 under suspension…
In a freshman class touted with heavy-hitting talent, Jared McCain of the Duke Blue Devils shined within it despite a number of doubts entering his collegiate career.
Embracing them, he was able to will his team to the Elite Eight after an overall very impressive introductory season, despite falling to 11-seed North Carolina State. He’d put up 32 points on 20 shots along with five threes to anchor the Blue Devils offense, but it wasn’t enough to edge out a rallying Wolfpack team.
Though not the finish he was envisioning, McCain showcased both his desirable qualities on and off the court throughout the entirety of the season. Seemingly always uplifting and joyful, creating community within his team and acting like the team’s social media liason, McCain possesses the personality traits you want in a teammate.
A week ago, the Sacramento native declared for the 2024 NBA Draft.
At 6-foot-3, 197 pounds, he’s a slight frame compared to the average modern NBA wing and combo guard, but he has the skill set to compensate.
A prepared shooter in a plethora of preparations, adept playmaker and downhill decision maker in transition, McCain’s freshman outing with Duke proved a lot about his quality on the court, and has led to him being mocked up to a lottery selection throughout the year.
