The 76ers' last game of the season was a 114-113 loss to the Knicks on April 12. McConnell finished that game with eight assists, bringing his season average to 6.6 assists per game. 

That stat stands out because T.J. was tied for 12th-most assists per game in the NBA, the same number as two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry. 

The 11 names in front of McConnell are eye-opening:

1. James Harden 

2. John Wall 

3. Russell Westbrook 

4. Chris Paul 

5. Ricky Rubio 

6. LeBron James 

7. Jeff Teague 

8. Jrue Holiday 

T9. Draymond Green 

T9. Kyle Lowry 

Then there's T.J., tied for 12th. Well done.
