Family genes are always something that blow me away when it comes to pro athletes. You've got the Mannings, the Kordas, the Williams sisters, the Gasols, the Matthews family, and the Currys to name a few. Well now you can add the McConnell's to that list. 

Just as we're getting ready to watch TJ McConnell's Pacers play in the NBA Finals tonight, we find out that his sister Megan has signed a WNBA contract with the Phoenix Mercury. 

I'm admittedly not familiar with Megan's game, but on a hunch I can admit she runs the baseline exceptionally well, is a master at the 5-10 foot jump shot, and loves to pick you up on defense for full court. Just an absolute pest on the court who you love to have on your team, but hate to play against. 

I think she's got a bright future in the W, what do you think? Let's continue to #growthegame.

Sadly Megan got hurt during her debut game with Phoenix, but she caught some good news and avoided anything major. 

Here's to a speedy recovery
