T.J. McConnell doesn't seem the disruptive type. He's the ultimate "good guy" type of player, the wholesome coach's son who always tries to say and do the right thing, the undrafted humble one just happy to be here, the undersized scrapper who hustled uphill all the way into the NBA.
He's going to make things awfully interesting in the Pacers backcourt, though.
McConnell, signed in the offseason after four seasons in Philadelphia, where he started 72 of his 314 games, was told upfront he would enter training camp as the No. 3 point guard behind Malcolm Brogdon and Aaron Holiday.
