At age 30, McConnell is a veteran of sorts already.
Bruce Pascoe T.J. McConnell sat behind Arizona’s bench during its 81-66 upset loss at Utah last week, then had to relive the experience the following day.At the end of a shootaround before his Indiana Pacers faced the Utah Jazz on Dec. 1, the former Wildcats point guard said Pacers teammate Tyrese Haliburton gave him a particularly hard time about the Wildcats’ loss, then complained directly to Hallburton as he walked by.
Since making 76ers’ roster as an undrafted free agent in 2015, McConnell spent four seasons in Philadelphia and the last three-plus in Indianapolis. At 30, McConnell is a veteran of sorts already. So, while McConnell has developed into one of the NBA’s better defenders, and into one of the Pacers’ leaders, he’s also known for doing some of the the same sort of stuff that he was known for doing at Arizona."McConnell's one of these old-school, really unique guys and he's just a big part of the engine that runs our team," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said."There really is nobody else quite like him in the league right now.
"He’s just a walking machine full of stuff like that. And he’s a great guy to be around every day. Just super." "I think we were able to get a lot closer through training camp this year with him challenging me every day, killing me every day in practice," Haliburton said."I know that if I can be prepared for him to guard me, I can be prepared for a lot of other challenges throughout the season.
