McCain has won gold medals, Peach Jam titles, and state championships. He grew into Duke’s biggest perimeter threat during the latter half of the season, averaging 14.9 points and shooting 37.7 percent from three in ACC play. McCain is an average athlete with average length and that leads to some defensive questions and versatility scoring the basketball. He gives good effort and strength at the point of attack on defense. He plays fast and has a killer instinct. McCain is an off-ball guard, and with that, his height, weight, and length measurements will be interesting for him.

Senior National Recruiting Analyst3/28/23Jared McCain can get going in a hurry and out up numbers. He won the McDAA 3-point contest, and that is pretty indicative of how he shot the ball all week. McCain has a scorers mentality with the ball in his hands. He is a competitive defender and plays downhill when he can. While the court vision could come into question, and his finishing at the rim, McCain competes, positive things seem to happen when he is on the floor.
