His career averages were 10.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per contest while shooting 48.7% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range in 156 games.

Considering it's a training camp deal, McGlothan will likely not make the team.

That said, he could be a candidate to play for their G League team and eventually end up with a two-way (or 10-day) contract.

During NBA Summer League, McGlothan averaged 2.8 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 41.7% from the field and 50.0% from the three-point range in five games.
