T.J. will be entering the NBA Draft from all that we have heard. Coach Miller was quoted as saying McConnell was “one of the best players he had ever coached.” According to Zack Rosenblatt, T.J. is projected at being picked 82nd overall, but whomever drafts him will be one luck team.
TJ McConnell debuted on DrafExpress Top 100 list for the 2015 Draft at No. 82. That little performance against Ohio State might’ve helped.

Richardson continued when asked about where his guys would land in the draft said “[we are] Getting a feel in terms of where our guys have an opportunity to go..we are just trying to give our guys the best information other than what they’re hearing and just getting it straight from the NBA.” Taking a page out of football coach Rich Rod’s book he added, “Again they are ‘our guys’ and we would like to think of them really highly but…it’s what the NBA thinks”
