McCaw was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks on June 23, 2016, with the 38th overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft. He was later traded to the Golden State Warriors on draft night for cash considerations. Warriors executive board member, felt McCaw, Jerry West should not have slipped that far, saying “People are gonna be sorry they didn’t draft him.” He signed with the Warriors on July 6, 2016 and joined the team for the 2016 NBA Summer League.
McCaw made his debut on October 25, 2016 for the Warriors in their season opener against the San Antonio Spurs. In nine minutes off the bench, McCaw recorded two points, two assists, one steal and one block in a 129–100 loss. He scored a then-career-high 10 points, all in the first half of the Warriors’ 106–99 win over the Utah Jazz on December 8, 2016. He was assigned on December 29, to the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s D-League affiliate. The next day, he was recalled by Golden State.
He made his first career start on January 10, 2017, in place of an ill Klay Thompson, contributing one three-pointer in a 107–95 win over the Miami Heat. McCaw was reassigned to Santa Cruz on January 13 and was recalled the next day.

With starting forward Kevin Durant injuring his knee on February 28, McCaw started in place of Durant in most games.
He made his first career playoff start in Game 2 of the first round on April 19 in place of injured Durant in which the Warriors won 110–81 over the Portland Trail Blazers. McCaw finished with nine points, five rebounds, one block, one steal, and an overall plus-27.

In Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, he had 18 points, five assists, three rebounds, and three steals off the bench to help the Warriors win 136–100. He was 6-for-8 from the field, including 3-for-4 on three-pointers. McCaw became the first rookie in the NBA with at least 18 points off the bench in a playoff game since James Harden in 2010 and the first Warriors rookie to do so since Robert Parish in 1977.
He started again in Game 4, finishing with six points, four rebounds, two assists, one block, and a plus-12 in a 129–115 win over the Spurs.

McCaw, started on November 27, 2017, in place of an injured Stephen Curry, scored a season-best 16 points with career highs of seven assists and four steals in a 110–106 loss to the Sacramento Kings. McCaw left late in the third quarter of the Warriors’ 112–96 win over the Kings on March 31, 2018, after a scary landing following an undercut by Vince Carter. McCaw drove the baseline and went down with a thud with 41.8 seconds left in the quarter, hit in the lower body by Carter.
McCaw layed still and in agony for roughly 10 minutes before being stretchered off and taken to UC Davis Medical Center for further evaluation. The following day, he was released from the hospital with a bruised lumbar spine. He returned from injury in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals against the Houston Rockets. The Warriors went on to defeat the Rockets in Game 7 to advance to the NBA Finals for the fourth straight season, where they won their second straight championship with a four-game sweep of the Cavaliers.
Following the 2017–18 season, McCaw became a restricted free agent. He allowed the Warriors’ $1.71 million qualifying offer to expire without accepting it in October 2018 and reportedly declined another two-year, $5.2 million offer from the team. McCaw remained restricted, with the Warriors retaining the right to match any offer from another team.
