Keita Bates-Diop announced this week his intention to turn pro and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll become the 11th Buckeye player since Thad Matta took over the program to be selected in the NBA Draft.
The various mock drafts typically have Bates-Diop going anywhere from the mid-late first round all the way toward the back half of the second round. It's far too early to have a strong read and exactly where he'll be chosen but it seems a safe bet he'll ultimately hear him name called at some point.
Assuming the expected indeed happens, Bates-Diop will join Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr.
