Along with franchise center Joel Embiid and forward Robert Covington, T.J. McConnell is the embodiment of “The Process”. Each of those players respresent the culture of the Philadelphia 76ers at their respective positions. McConnell was an undrafted free agent that signed with Sixers and the team molded into one of the better backup defensive point guards in the league.
It’s evident that the Philadelphia 76ers front office sees McConnell’s worth due to the fact that the franchise announced that they have exercised the fourth-year option on his contract, along with the option on big man Richaun Holmes‘ contract.
