Jared McCain was in Chicago a year ago, “stressed” about the draft combine.

Last night, he was the Sixers’ onstage rep during a chaotic draft lottery, when brief confusion turned into a grin and a nod.

“Oh, we got this.”

Asked Tyrese Maxey if he knew during the game when he was getting closer to a triple-double: "I didn’t know I was close until they were like, 'They took one of your rebounds away.' I was like, 'Well, dang, how many I got?' They were like, 'Well, eight now. I said, 'Oh eight? I need two more, then'"
