Comment:Â The Sean Miller prodigy is entering his third season in the NBA and with the Sixers. He hasn't hit any buzzer-beating shots over Carmelo Anthony like he did last season, but this is an important season for McConnell if he wants to prove to the organization that he's a key piece to the process. Against Houston Wednesday, McConnell off the bench had six points, five rebounds and nine assists.Â
