Despite his elite per-minute production, McConnell remains on the outside looking in when it comes to consistent, meaningful playing time. He finished as the 153rd-ranked player in standard formats last season, averaging a career-high 10.3 points to go with 2.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals in just 18.2 minutes per game. He was particularly effective down the stretch of the regular season, scoring double-digits in 15 of the final 16 games. During that span, he also handed out at least six assists on nine separate occasions. While he is one of the better backup options in the NBA, there are no indications his role will change moving forward. Tyrese Haliburton has the starting point guard position locked down and with good reason. If and when he misses time, McConnell typically sees a handful of extra minutes, elevating him to streaming status. Managers don't need to look too hard at McConnell when drafting, however, he should be on just about every watchlist, given his upside in assists and steals.
