And if they can figure out what's efficient, what's not, it could really pay some dividends come like round two and three if they get there.

uh some of it is that they have a type and they have a personality type that fits in well i mean and there was no question that jared mccain was going to fit with the personality of the locker room i mean i talked to guys just a few days after the trade and they were like oh yeah like he he fits in here well um he's always smiling he's kind of life of the party kind of guy he's

incredibly friendly, incredibly kind, and he just fits in really well here.

You can tell that he feels welcomed by his teammates.

And then basketball-wise, he's somebody that doesn't have to have the ball in his hands.

He likes to relocate, which is something the Thunder love to have and don't really have enough of.

And so his unselfishness gets in here.

And then his competitiveness, too.

He's not going to be some great defender.

He doesn't really have the body, the wingspan, all of that, the quickness to be an elite defender.

But his competitiveness is the thing that's going to drive good minutes for him.

It's like he continues to be competitive defensively.

Offensively, they just need more guys that can just hit shots like this.

I know that they had a crazy first quarter, but they just need guys that can come in and make shots.

He was two of three from the three-point line tonight.

Guys are going to cover him on the perimeter.

He creates space.

They just need more guys like that.

And to have one that's on a rookie-scale deal in year two, he just had a birthday a couple days ago.

He just turned 22.
