Where has McCaw, who was nicknamed a dynasty player by fans, went now?
8:43pm, 3 September 2025【Basketball】
Since the Lakers from 2000 to 2002, in 23 years, the NBA has never had a three-game winning streak. However, one player has completed an alternative three-game winning streak. He is Patrick McCaw. After following the Warriors to win the 2017 and 2018 championships, he left in the summer of 2018, and then joined the Raptors. He successfully defeated his old club, the Warriors in the finals and won the third championship ring in his career. Therefore, he was also nicknamed a "dynasty player" by fans, and called that period the "McCaw Dynasty". So where did McCaugh go later, and what about his later career? Let's find out below!
1.NCAA star player will win the championship when he enters the NBA.
Although McCall was a rotation player from the beginning to the end and could not even play for a long time, you should know that he was also a tough guy in college. After graduating from high school in 2014, he joined the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, the famous UNLV. In his freshman season, he became the main player of the team, averaging 9.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Under such circumstances, he naturally received the team's reuse in his sophomore season, and McCaw did not disappoint the team's trust. His average data soared to 14.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.4 steals, with shooting and three-point shooting percentages reaching 45.4% and 35.2% respectively. After the season, he was also successfully selected for the Western Mountain League's All-Second Team and the All-Defensive First Team. Although his talent is relatively average, his basic skills are indeed very solid, so he also participated in the 2016 NBA Draft.
I have to say that McCaw was indeed very lucky. Although he was selected at the 8th pick in the second round, the one who selected him was last season and later won Kevin Durant's Warriors. In his first season in the NBA, although he averaged only 4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, he occasionally made an inspiration and also scored 15 appearances in the playoffs, and averaged 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Especially in the Western Conference Finals and the Spurs, he has performed 18 points, 5 assists and 3 steals in a single game. Although he is just a trivial little man, he has also made some contributions during the team's championship, so he is indeed worthy of the championship. Since then, at the age of 21, he has reached the peak of his career in his rookie season and has become a witness and experience of the Warriors' resurgence.
2. He only had four years of his career, but he was crowned king three times.
After that, in the 17-18 season, although McCaw was still a long-term water dispenser guardian, the team's strength was here, and the contribution of 4 points and 1.4 rebounds per game was still a bit insignificant, but it was enough for players of his level. Besides, during the game, he would burst from time to time, which made the fans very excited. For example, in the game against the Kings, he scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals alone, setting new highs in many careers. In the playoffs, he also won a championship with the Warriors again. However, because his personal ability is indeed average, the Warriors did not renew his contract with him after the end of the season. Fortunately, the Cavaliers gave him a two-year, $6 million contract, and McCaw naturally did not hesitate and happily went to the Cavaliers to report. Unfortunately, his ability is indeed average. When the Cavaliers have lost LeBron James and entered the reconstruction period, he has only got three opportunities to play, and was eventually laid off by the team before the trade deadline.
However, the goddess of luck favored McCaw. Just four days after losing her job, the Raptors handed him a basic salary contract and took him to Toronto. In the remaining 26 games here, although McCaw is still a regular visitor in garbage time, and his data is only 2.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1 assist, and he even has no chance to play in the playoffs. But the Raptors became a dark horse, defeating many strong enemies all the way, and finally defeating their old club, the Warriors in the finals, successfully winning the first championship in team history. Since then, McCaw has become a very rare player in history who can win all the championships in the first three years of his career. If the restrictions are changed to playing for different teams, then McCaw is only one in the entire NBA history.
3. Light speed leaves the NBA and hangs in the low-level league.
However, it is impossible for a person to be lucky all the time. After Kawhi Leonard left, the Raptors maintained a certain number of strength, but they also lost the opportunity to win the championship. McCaw played only 37 games in the 19-20 season, averaging only 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and was eventually laid off by the team. McCaw, who is only 25 years old, has since left the NBA. Although he later received a contract from the Sixers, he has never been able to play for the team and spends most of his time in the G League. However, he once represented the US national team in the Copa America, and he also has experience as a national team. Now McCaw has gone to the European League and is already 30 years old, he has basically no chance of returning to the NBA. But looking back at his career, it can be said that it is very dramatic. It is not easy to win three championships even if he is not a main player.
