Jared McCain Card Profile

Oklahoma City Thunder

McCain still belongs on the board because the collectible hook is obvious, but the 20-25 audit makes the rank more demanding. The personality, shooting flashes, and rookie-market memory are still real. The problem is that Oklahoma City has to give him enough role to make those cards more than a popularity bet.

Current setup

Market read

Current NBA status

The Thunder backdrop is cleaner than Philadelphia was, but the current role read is not strong enough to keep him ahead of the fresher Sarr, Reed, and Ajay cases.
