McConnell didn't just finish in the top-tier of the NBA's assists leaders. He also finished toward the top of the steals leaders, ranking No. 10 in the NBA.
McConnell averaged 1.7 steals per game this year. He was one of just six players who finished in the NBA's top 12 in both assists and steals — and it's one heck of a list: Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry, Chris Paul, John Wall, Draymond Green and Ricky Rubio.
