Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shares high praise for Jared McCain

Jared McCain has provided a major spark off of the bench for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the postseason this far. 

His most impactful performance game in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs. McCain tallied 24 points and 4 rebounds in 27 minutes of action in Oklahoma City's 123-108 victory. In the game, McCain was the Thunder's second-leading scorer behind reigning two-time NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. 

After the game, Gilgeous-Alexander shared some high praise for McCain and the confidence that he brings to the team. 

"He just oozes confidence," Gilgeous-Alexander said of McCain. "He knows exactly who he is. He knows exactly what he does, and he goes out there and does it no matter what. When the ball goes in or out, he makes the next play, makes the best play for himself and for the guys out there. He's always aggressive, poised and attacks the moment."
