<\/p>\nOne month in with Thunder\u2019s Jared McCain<\/p>\n
It\u2019s only been a month since the Thunder scored star guard Jared McCain from the Philadelphia 76ers and he\u2019s already left his impact with the team.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWELCOME BACK TO THE PAYCOM CENTER. BRYAN KEATING HANNAH HOOVER. THE COUNTDOWN IS ON. THUNDER WARRIORS PRIME TIME RIGHT HERE ON CHANNEL FIVE. INJURIES. OBVIOUSLY THE BIG STORY HANNAH. YOU KNOW CHET\u2019S GOING TO BE OUT TONIGHT. STEPH CURRY\u2019S GOING TO BE OUT A BUNCH OF OTHER GUYS THAT ARE GOING TO BE OUT. BUT I THINK THE INTERESTING PART OF THAT IS THAT OTHER GUYS HAVE GOTTEN OPPORTUNITIES. ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO\u2019S THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER, JARED MCCAIN. THIS GUY IS AWESOME. HE\u2019S AWESOME. AND JUST YESTERDAY HE WENT TO THE OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL AND GOT TO EXPERIENCE THAT AS ALL PLAYERS DO. BUT JARED MCCAIN HAS BEEN SO FUN TO WATCH. JUST EXPLODE ON THE SCENE AND REALLY MAKE HIS MARK. SO HAPPY ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY TO JARED MCCAIN. ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY THAT WE DO THAT NOW AROUND HERE. ONE MONTH WE DO 12 GAMES, 143 TOTAL POINTS. AND MAN, HE\u2019S GOOD FOR THREE AS WELL. WE\u2019D LOVE TO SEE IT. THE ABILITY TO STAND OUT AND MAKE THREES AND STRETCH THE PERIMETER. I THINK THERE\u2019S SOME INTERESTING COMBINATIONS WITH JARED MCCAIN. HERE HE IS. IT\u2019S FUN HAVING JARED AROUND. HE\u2019S ALWAYS A HAPPY GUY, LAUGHING, JOKING AROUND REGARDLESS OF THE MOMENT. AND GOOD GUY TO BE AROUND FOR SURE. HE\u2019S A GUY THAT YOU HAVE TO LIKE RACE OFF THE LINE, WHICH OPENS UP SOME OF THOSE DRIVES, THOSE MID-RANGE PLAYS SHOW OFF HIS STRENGTH, YOU KNOW, LIKE HE GETS GOING DOWNHILL AND HE\u2019S ABLE TO ABSORB CONTACT AND RISE UP AND SHOOT A BALANCED RHYTHM SHOT, WHICH IS HARDER TO DO THAN IT LOOKS. I THINK HE\u2019S BEEN OUTSTANDING. HE\u2019S BEEN BETTER THAN ADVERTISED, AND I THOUGHT HE HAD A CHANCE TO BE A PRETTY GOOD PLAYER. BUT IT\u2019S NOT JUST HIS ABILITY, LIKE MARK SAID, TO JUST STAND OUT ON THE THREE POINT LINE. HIS BALL HANDLING, HIS ABILITY TO GET TO 12 OR 15FT AND BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT. BOY, WHAT A WEAPON. THERE\u2019S A LOT OF SKILL SET AND YOU JUST DIDN\u2019T KNOW WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO GET COMING FROM BILLY BECAUSE HE DIDN\u2019T GET THAT MUCH PLAYING TIME. BUT NOW THEY HAVE REALLY CAPITALIZED ON JARED MCCAIN AND\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
