Bates-Diop heading to NBA

COLUMBUS, Ohio – As expected, Ohio State’s Keita Bates-Diop will be entering the NBA draft.

The redshirt junior had a break out season for OSU this year. He led them to a runner up finish in the Big Ten and won the conference player of the year award while scoring just under 20 points per game.

The news was originally reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The NBA draft will be held on June 21.
