Jared McCain may be in a shooting slump, but how he's making up for it in other areas is what's keeping him on the floor for the OKC Thunder.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jared McCain continues to earn substantial playing time despite an early-season shooting slump. Head coach Mark Daigneault praised McCain's defensive hustle, rebounding, and well-rounded effort following Oklahoma City's 124-116 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, noting these qualities have built organizational trust.
McCain is shooting 33.7 percent from the floor overall and went 1-for-22 from three-point range across four games. Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 42 points in Wednesday's win, achieving his eighth consecutive 30-plus-point performance against Cleveland.
