McLaughlin is 5-11 and 185 pounds, a 30-year-old guard out of Southern California with seven seasons of experience. Last season with San Antonio he played 44 games at 6.4 minutes a night, averaging 2.0 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists. The shooting held up in that small role: 42.5 percent from three, 85.7 percent at the line and a 54.2 true shooting mark. His usage sat at 14.3 and his turnovers at 0.3 per game, the profile of a backup who runs the offense without forcing it.
