Waived by Oklahoma City
McGary (suspension) was waived by the Thunder on Monday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
A first-round pick in 2014, McGary was largely a flop during his two seasons with the Thunder, as injuries and ineffective play had already put him at risk of losing his roster spot. His fate was likely sealed when he was handed a 15-game suspension in July stemming from both a violation and non-compliance with the NBA's drug policy, as the Thunder decided that he had run out of chances. Since McGary's suspension will still be in effect even though he's now a free agent, he'll likely have to head overseas to restore his stock with NBA teams.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
McGary had a strange rookie season. He broke his foot in training camp last October and didn't make his NBA debut until mid-December. When McGary was finally healthy enough to play, ex-coach Scott Brooks kept him on the bench until injuries to Kendrick Perkins and Steven Adams forced McGary into action, and he took advantage of the opportunity to play meaningful minutes. McGary was one of the better per-minute producers last season, but he didn't get on the court enough to be a consistent factor in fantasy. Through 32 games, he averaged 6.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 15 minutes per game. If he ever gets minutes, it's believed McGary will be a great fantasy player, but with Enes Kanter, Steven Adams, Serge Ibaka, and Kevin Durant all in front of him on the depth chart for frontcourt minutes, it's difficult to see where McGary could get minutes this season. The one wild card in the Thunder minutes equation is the fact that they hired Billy Donovan out of Florida to replace Scott Brooks as the head coach this season, and no one knows what Donovan's rotations are going to look like. While it's doubtful Donovan shakes things up too much, it'll be interesting to see what comes to light in the preseason. McGary has been working on hitting the corner three-point shot this offseason, and in the Las Vegas Summer League, he averaged 12.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 block, and 2.0 steals in 24 minutes per game through four contests.
