WATCH: $1M NIL-valued Jared McCain lights up Duke’s Senior Day with impromptu concert
Duke guard Jared McCain shines both on and off the basketball court. Revered for his infectious joy and unapologetic authenticity, the 20-year-old continues to dazzle fans.
McCain's dual talents were on full display during Duke's Senior Day, where he serenaded fans with an impromptu concert. His charisma and skill make him a pleasure to watch.
The five-star prospect from the Class of 2023, ranked 14th nationally, boasts impressive stats—averaging 13.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 30.6 minutes per game as a freshman.
McCain initially struggled, scoring 10 or fewer points in seven of his first eight games, including a scoreless showing against Michigan State. However, his breakout came on December 20 against Baylor, when he scored 21 points, signaling a turning point.
"Baylor was a huge one for me. I feel like I wasn't playing like myself at the beginning of the season, and that was a coming out party for me," McCain said.
He achieved four double-doubles. Duke relies on McCain, Kyle Filipowski, or Jeremy Roach for crucial baskets, as exemplified by McCain's 35-point performance against Florida State on Feb. 17, shooting 8-of-11 from three-point range.
