McGary has lost nearly 30 pounds since the end of the season, The Oklahoman reports. "I'm sick of being injured and not being able to play at full strength 100 percent," McGary said. "So this summer was really key for me. I stayed in Oklahoma City and just been working my tail off to get into shape."

Analysis:

McGary played just eight games in his final college season because of a back injury, then essentially missed the first three months of his rookie campaign with foot and tibia issues. He still turned in a promising debut, averaging 6.3 points, 5.2 boards and 0.5 blocks over 15.2 minutes in 32 games. A slimmer frame could help McGary earn a key role off the bench, but the Oklahoma City frontcourt is pretty crowded.
