ORLANDO — The differences in Mitch McGary’s game are in the details.
Watch the way he now explodes off the floor for rebounds and dunk attempts. Take note of how much better he moves his feet and changes directions.
“I just feel lighter on my feet,” McGary said. “I mean, 20 pounds lighter from the season is a big adjustment for me.”
That’s no misprint. McGary says he’s actually lost close to 30 pounds since the end of last season.
And the second-year Thunder forward is feeling how much of a difference the dropped weight has made.
