McCarty is a breakout candidate for Iowa State's 2026-27 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Analysis:Since mid-February, McCarty has logged a regular role as part of Houston. He not only recorded 15.7 minutes per game but also averaged 5.5 points and 3.0 rebounds, decent for his allotted time. Last season, Houston primarily relied on both 2026 draftees and seniors, so McCarty may log a significantly better role next season.
