I want McCain to improve and I want him to be successful as a 76er, but it seems he has taken several steps backwards and has a long road ahead of him to get back to the player he was last season. But I want to be wrong on this.


Not that high on him but McCain is gonna bounce back. He’s better than this. We’re lucky to have him on our team, he just needs to get his rhythm. He can be an important piece to what we’re building here.


Good great I want you to be right.. I hope he takes all of Grimes minutes. Just like Maexy did to Shake Milton. People talk about a 3 guard rotation with Grimes VJ and Maxey and how Grimes can guard 3's. I would rather have a 3 guard rotation with McCain and get someone else who can guard 3's. So let's go McCain and get better.


I’m higher on Grimes than McCain. I don’t see McCain taking his minutes. Grimes has been one of the guys we trust for buckets in crunch time, can finish at the rim when his shot isn’t falling, and can defend wings. McCain is more of a reliever for Maxey, specially when we decide to cut Maxey’s minutes or “manage his load” by sitting him out in preparation for the play-offs.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

And he has a wrap around his shooting hand which I'm sure isn't the most comfortable thing. Either way, he needs time to settle in after not playing an organized game for almost a year.

Yeah McCain will be fine once he gets into playing shape, loses the wrap on the hand, and is able to remove that huge leg brace. Hopefully that all happens by year end. If so, he'll provide positive impact the 2nd half of the season.

Right now it's just about ramping up.
