76ers' T.J. McConnell: Double-doubles in loss

McConnell recorded 16 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 assists, three steals and one rebound over 34 minutes in Monday's 112-109 loss to the Magic.

Analysis:

Although McConnell can be streaky, it's more about the team and less about the player. He's currently ninth in the league in total assists, which is remarkable when you consider the season the Sixers are having. You don't outrank guards like Steph Curry or Isaiah Thomas in a critical category by chance. He's been outperforming his regular average in dimes by a full point in March, averaging 7.5 assists per game over 11 contests. Even though he's not a prolific scorer, MConnell will always produce assists, a trait that's valuable in all formats.
