One of the bigger storylines this season for the Philadelphia 76ers is how Jared McCain will look like after missing almost an entire calendar year due to injuries. So far, the sophomore guard has been predictably rusty, although to toss everything up to rust would be underselling it, to be quite frank. To cut to the chase, he has not been a good watch.
While this is nothing out of the normal, the 76ers are quickly heading into a delicate dynamic with McCain. On one hand, this is still a talented prospect who was the top rookie in his class before injuries last season.
