"I think (McConnell) is starting to be a little bit more responsible with his decision making. I think that he's getting a little bit more confident with his three-point shot when people don't guard him and double Joel Embiid. Him recognizing time and score, just being a cerebral type of point guard is growing. We all recognize the toughness. We all recognize him as the Marine, the kamikaze attitude. He's got that. That's why he's in the league. But the polished-up part of the point guard position, I think it's the hardest position to play in the NBA. That's a challenge for him. Slowly, he's getting better. He's growing up and he's getting better."
