<\/p>\nOklahoma City Thunder welcomes star guard Jared McCain<\/p>\n
The Oklahoma City Thunder has added star guard Jared McCain from the Philadelphia 76ers to their NBA championship team.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t10 A.M. ON KOCO 5. THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER WELCOMING A NEW GUY TO TOWN. LOOK HOW HAPPY HE LOOKS. I I\u2019D 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\u2019T 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\u2019S RELIEF IN SHOOTING, WHETHER IT\u2019S IN REALLY ANYTHING THE COACH WANTS, I THINK THAT\u2019S THAT\u2019S 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\u2019M WILLING TO DO. AND I\u2019M JUST EXCITED TO BE A PART OF IT. IT\u2019S NOT TO SAY THERE\u2019S A CERTAIN TIME THAT HE HAS TO WAIT. IT\u2019S ALSO NOT TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU GET HIM OUT THERE AND HE\u2019S STARTING TOMORROW. YOU KNOW, IT\u2019S IT\u2019S 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\u2019S NEW GUARD. HERE HE IS. THERE JUST WASN\u2019T A PLACE FOR HIM IN PHILLY. I GUESS THEY\u2019LL FIND A PLACE FOR HIM HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY. AND I DON\u2019T KNOW HOW IT\u2019S GOING TO PLAY OUT, BUT I\u2019M GUESSING WHEN IT\u2019S ALL SAID AND DONE AT\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
