There are 50 choose 3 possible flops for each of those holdings. Depending on the holding, there will be 1,2,3,or 4 ways to make a straight flop, so
1, 2, 3 or 4 in 19600 respectively.

There are 4^3 - 4 ways to make each of the 1,2,3 or 4 straights. Besides, he was asking about straight draws. See this post to find the answer of 9.6% for 8-out straight draws with JTs-65s, and this post for other connectors.

Wow, what a brain fart. For some stupid reason I thought he was asking about straight flushes.
