T.J. McConnell

Current team: Philadelphia 76ers

Stats: Averaging six points, three rebounds, and six assists

Possibly the story of the year in the NBA, T.J. McConnell has provided the fans of the 76ers something to cheer about. He is in the right place at the right time! McConnell has taken full advantage of the opportunity he was given – he currently leads the team in assists per game and has helped them win more games this season than last.

It seems almost night after night there is another McConnell highlight on ESPN. His passion, drive, and toughness are what makes him such an exciting player to watch.

While at Arizona, McConnell’s leadership is what stood out and made him such a valuable part of the Cats in the 2013-14 season. He helped the team achieve a record of 21-0 to start the season and got to an Elite 8. His passion, and how much it meant for him to be an Arizona Wildcat can be all be wrapped up in this picture:
