10 A.M. ON KOCO 5. THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER WELCOMING A NEW GUY TO TOWN. LOOK HOW HAPPY HE LOOKS. I I’D BE HAPPY TO. JOINING THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER TEAM, STAR GUARD JARED MCCANN OF THE PHILADELPHIA 76 ERS. NOW A PART OF OUR NBA CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. WE HAVE OUR CHAMP OVER HERE. SPORTS ANCHOR HANNAH HOOVER JOINING US LIVE IN STUDIO. AND HANNAH WE HEARD FROM THE NEW KID IN TOWN TODAY. YES WE DID. AND THERE IS A LOT OF BUZZ FOR JARED MCCAIN. MARK SAYS HE IS CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH AS HIS TEAM. SOMETHING EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO GENERAL MANAGER SAM PRESTI. JARED MCCAIN SAYS HE DID NOT SEE THIS COMING, BUT WHO WOULDN’T BE EXCITED TO JOIN THE REIGNING NBA CHAMPS AND THE NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE WEST? I THINK JUST WHAT I CAN BRING, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT’S RELIEF IN SHOOTING, WHETHER IT’S IN REALLY ANYTHING THE COACH WANTS, I THINK THAT’S THAT’S THE MAIN THING. ME AND COACH HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS JUST HE FEELS LIKE I CAN FIT IN WITH THIS TEAM AND, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER, WHATEVER THAT LOOKS LIKE, WHATEVER IT IS I’M WILLING TO DO. AND I’M JUST EXCITED TO BE A PART OF IT. IT’S NOT TO SAY THERE’S A CERTAIN TIME THAT HE HAS TO WAIT. IT’S ALSO NOT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU GET HIM OUT THERE AND HE’S STARTING TOMORROW. YOU KNOW, IT’S IT’S SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THOSE TWO THINGS. YOU HEARD IT FROM DAIGNEAULT. THEY ARE NOT EXPECTING JARED MCCAIN TO BE A TOP PERFORMER. DAY ONE. BUT BEFORE INJURY SIDELINED HIM LAST SEASON, HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO BECOME ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, SHOOTING 38.5 FROM THREE SO FAR THIS YEAR. NOW, I SPOKE WITH ESPN ANALYST DAVE PASH EARLIER TODAY ON THE THUNDER’S NEW GUARD. HERE HE IS. THERE JUST WASN’T A PLACE FOR HIM IN PHILLY. I GUESS THEY’LL FIND A PLACE FOR HIM HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY. AND I DON’T KNOW HOW IT’S GOING TO PLAY OUT, BUT I’M GUESSING WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE AT
