T.J. McConnell

At 6-foot-1, the foundation of T.J. McConnell’s eight-year NBA career has been built on gritty evasiveness. The Orlando Magic can’t keep up with McConnell, who uses a screen to gain entry into the paint before converting a difficult high-arcing floater over Bol Bol — a player more than a foot taller than the Indiana Pacers guard. McConnell connected on 7 of his 8 field goals for 19 points, five rebounds, 10 assists and three steals off the bench in Indiana’s 123-102 triumph on November 21, 2022.
