Summary
McConnell is one of the best steal maestros in the NBA, and led the league in steal rate this season, highlighted by a 10-steal game in March. His ability to get steals in the backcourt is unparalled.

On offense, McConnell's lack of scoring ability can hurt him. Sometimes the defense knows he wants to kick out off of drives and stays home instead of helping, which can lead to turnovers if he tries to kick out in passing lanes that aren't there. He does have a very good short midrange game, but that's about all he has in his scoring arsenal. I think that makes his playoff contributions slightly deflated compared to his regular season impact. If teams are ready for his backcourt pressure, and can lock down on his drive-and-kick game, I think he can even become a negative on the court because of his lack of shooting ability.

However, McConnell has shown he can provide solid backup point guard minutes, and even if his minutes should be limited in the playoffs, he can still provide value to a winning team, and should get a decent contract.

Cap Considerations
McConnell will be an unrestricted free agent with a $4.6 million cap hold and Early Bird rights. Using his Early Bird rights, the Pacers can offer McConnell a starting salary of 5% above the average salary (around $10 million), which should be more than enough.

Other teams will have multiple ways to sign McConnell as even teams without cap space could possibly use any of the Non-Taxpayer MLE, Taxpayer MLE, or possibly even the Room MLE or Bi-Annual Exception to sign him.

Potential Teams: Pacers, Wizards, Pelicans, Hawks, Kings
