"I'm the rookie of the year," he declared in X post, formerly Twitter. The former Duke Blue Devils player is averaging 26 points per game as a starter.

In his recent games as a starter, McCain has posted impressive performances, including 30 points, 3 assists, and 6 three-pointers in one game. The sharp-shooter then made 34 points, 10 assists, and 6 three-pointers in another to highlight his importance to Philadelphia 76ers in his promising career.
