Duke alums McCain and James picked in NBA expansion mock draft

In a recent NBA expansion mock draft, former Duke players Jared McCain and Sion James were selected. McCain was chosen first overall by Bleacher Report’s mock expansion team, highlighting his potential despite modest statistics last season with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers. Sion James followed at the 11th spot, recognized for his solid role with the Charlotte Hornets after playing all 82 games last season. The mock draft reflects potential roster considerations as the NBA contemplates expansion after nearly two decades since the last draft in 2004.
