Okay so I searched through 5 pages of Connaughton in the search, so forgive me if I missed his player thread! Anyways We've all known Connaughton has serious hops and is a stout Defender/Rebounder. This season with extended playing time, he's responded with a career best in most categories. 11ppg up from his career average of 5.4. He's also averaging 5 rebounds a game!

Connaughton was amazing at the 2020 NBA Dunk Contest. It's too bad his lack of athletic ability kept him 1 pt from making the finals and probably
winning the contest like Brent Barry did. That second dunk he did was Incredible. To jump over a almost 7 footer & still have the hang time to tap the
ball of the backboard is insane hang time. What an phenomenal athlete. Hope he continues to have a career year even though he doesn't get to shoot
the rock enough. The kid is an all around player and very fun to watch!

One thing Connaughton has fallen off on stat wise is FT percentage, down to 68%. His career average is 79% so if he cleans that up, should help his PPG even more.
