Utah Jazz blog: Pat Connaughton's shooting opens eyes (with video)

Basketball? Or baseball?

"Gee, I never heard that question before," Connaughton said, which was followed by laughter from the media.

Here's what we now know: Connaughton loves both sports, but has committed himself to the hardwood. He's thrown himself into the pre-draft process with both feet and wants to be an NBA shooting guard.

And with his attributes, Connaughton is an attractive option for someone in the second round. He's strong and sturdy at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds. He's exhibited the ability to consistently hit the NBA 3-pointer, especially so at the combine, where he was seen as one of the players who significantly helped themselves.
