If a fruitful NBA career isn't in the cards for Portland Trail Blazers guard Pat Connaughton, the former collegiate pitcher may take his talents back to the diamond.
According to Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sun, the Baltimore Orioles are still interested in their 2014 draft pick as the two-sport athlete mulls his future.
The Orioles drafted Connaughton in 2014, the summer before his senior year at Notre Dame. But following a successful season on the hardwood for the Fighting Irish, Connaughton declared for the 2015 NBA draft and was selected by Portland in the second round.
