TJ is wild UNDERRATED. One of my favs to watch on the early Sixers

[@blackballer2977]

Hip me then

[@Shmeated]

Facts, I had him in a FanDuel lineup the night he put up 72 fantasy points when he had a triple double with steals , super underrated

[@blackballer2977]

Get that bread 🦾

Big time energy guy who can come up in timely moments

[@CharleyCarey]

Sounds like McConnell would make a hell of a coach one day.

[@strength9621]

For sure, that’s usually how these solid players turn out

[@Justinrombough]

His dad was one so it makes sense

[@getoffthisrocktravel2054]

TJ scored that triple double 16points, 13 assists, 10steals. Pacers lucky to have him

ouuu what great luck for a professional basketball team 🙄

Yup he came in 2nd in the league for steals per game behind jimmy butler this year!!

Tj was a dawg in college, proud to see how far he’s come

[@raymondwilborne6886]

tj is who cleveland thought delly was lmao

[@user-dj2xn]

Most accurate comment I’ve ever seen

[@lolstfu2950]

atleast tj knows how to score while delly is just running around hitting his head and breaking his neck every 2 games

[@neoretroguy4488]

he was easily the best 2nd player in the cavs run where love and kyrie were injured

[@Alxhapo]

[@sanjaysayshi]

People forget how good delly was at times during his cavs run. Had the highest 3pt% in the league for a lot of that 2015 season.

[@rodaxel7165]

Underrated. Best as the PG who can run the 2nd unit but can start with a superstar next to him in the backcourt.

[@TheKingofsoccor]

Cam payne better backup

[@zachkellow81]

@@TheKingofsoccor life long suns fan here- cam payne is a better scorer no doubt, but i 100% believe TJ would have been/would be a better fit with this suns squad than payne. and i love what payne did this year, he proved everyone wrong (even suns fans). but the all-around game tj has developed and the kind of presence he is in the locker room according to people who have played with him, i'd rather have him running the 2nd unit

TJ is McConnell is fundamentally sound, at both ends of the floor, so he makes the plays that don't show up in box scores.

[@GotDamBoi]

TJ is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. Hard to not like the dude

[@patrickmatthews8191]

Except when you're a fan of the opposing team and he steals the ball on the in bounds play

[@patrickmatthews8191]

@FEYSAL ALI well I actually like him, the only time I dont like him is if he gets a steal during an inbound play when my Warriore play the Pacers

[@retrotv1988]

76ers g league helped him greatly develop and learn to play

[@Darkvoid226]

the process developed a surprising amount of solid roleplayers. Robert Covington is another guy.

[@VincentAmbrosioSalad]

Helps TJ is a through and through scrapper. I’m a lakers fan and he reminds of when we had Marcelo Huertas smart not incredibly athletic gives his team a much needed spark

[@sophiawilliams8650]

@@Darkvoid226 then got rid of them just to get eliminated in the 2nd round

[@freddycalipari4242]

Lol no the g league didn’t. The “process” helped him cause he got a spot on an nba roster he otherwise wouldn’t. From there he showcased his talent

[@andrew01px2017]

never forget TJ buzzer beater over Carmelo... one of my favorite moments in NBA history

I just started watching the NBA and love watching McConnell. I'm getting his jersey. First NBA jersey Ill have since Shawn Kemp's.

[@jgreed5]

And thrive. Around 2015 tj hit two game winners that season for philly. He a quality player

[@BrianJohnson-zu5bv]

I played TJ in high school. Never saw it coming. Dude had to be a workaholic and leaves it on the floor. Good for him!

[@sope01tv]

TJ was the real heart and soul of the Sixers during "the process". Looking at JJ's career, I was really happy for TJ because I felt he would really benefit from having JJ as veteran

[@elibaroudos9186]

Hopefully the pacers can bring him back, TJ is so fun to watch

[@HansToyHut]

TJ is a defensive mastermind

[@Andrewrrrrr]

One of the few things you can't teach is that fury people like that play with. On every level people hate facing them.

[@raymondwilborne6886]

TJ mad underrated

[@MAXIMUSWE]

Probably the best back up , hard working point guard in the NBA. He's not like gonna wow you on offense , because he's not really looking to do that.....But he's extremely efficient and doesn't waste anytime when he sees his opportunity to score ....He basically doesn't try to do anything outside of his strengths.

[@lucasnogueira1137]

TJ is one of the best defensive guards in the league

[@theorrymusic]

Rick carlisle agreed on wanting to keep TJ and McDermott so I'm happy

[@zachbell8252]

Maybe the time has passed for players like that, but I'm pretty sure with proper minutes and a more significant role in any franchise TJ could've been something like John Stockton. He has shown flashes that definitely reminds me of Stockton.
