T.J. McConnell is one of the many undrafted players who ended up on the Philadelphia 76ers roster over the past few years. If one had to guess his fate the day he was signed, they would have said he is one of the players that would be around for training camp, and maybe even preseason, but not long after that.
The Sixers had a ton of players in the backcourt lobbying for a spot on the roster. Tony Wroten, Kendall Marshall, and Pierre Jackson all appeared to be in the running for the position, and more likely to get it than McConnell.
