Q&A: Pat Connaughton enjoying NBA life while keeping MLB option open

The game had been decided for a while when Pat Connaughton, a Milwaukee reserve guard, got Detroit���s Langston Galloway on his back for a post-up opportunity deep into the fourth quarter. Drawing instantly on his days back at St. John���s Prep in Danover, Mass., where Connaughton was both his high school team���s point guard and its most reliable big man, the Bucks player sensed where Galloway was defensively and deftly put up an 8-foot hook shot that made it 117-97, Milwaukee comfortably on its way to a 2-0 advantage in its first-round playoff series against the Pistons.
