He was also drafted, but did not sign, by the San Diego Padres in the 21st round in 1993, by the Atlanta Braves in the 32nd round in 1994, by the Detroit Tigers in the 16th round in 1995, and by the Texas Rangers in the 19th round of the 1996 Major League Baseball Draft.

Upon his college graduation he was selected by the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers (2nd pick, 2nd round, 31st overall) in the 1996 NBA Draft and MLB's Toronto Blue Jays (20th round) of the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft.

[ooiron manoo]

everybody is posting people that were drafted into 2 leagues but not in the SAME year
Did you not read the post about Mark Hendrickson?

Dude got drafted the year he was drafted into the NBA (1996) and after his first season in the NBA (1997)....

Hendrickson (

) sucked in both sports, but that is still impressive.
