“McCain is one of the best 3-point shot-makers in the country. His jumper is polished in catch-and-shoot scenarios, but he can also create space for himself to get clean looks at the basket. He manipulates defenders in ball-screen situations as both a scoring threat and playmaker. He also plays with big heart and a strong basketball IQ, having won a championship on every platform, including USA Basketball, high school and summer club play.”
