“It’s been a tough season,” McConnell said. “But it’s hard to look past the minutes and the growth that some of the guys that, even last year, didn’t get. Especially Drew taking on a bigger role, Ben Sheppard, the young guys continuing to come in and give us a spark and get valuable minutes in the NBA. That’s a really valuable thing. It’s something we can’t look past. We’ve got to continue to honor it, and continue to build guys up when they get those opportunities.”
