BUCKEYES TO BROWNS
Mike Hall Jr. is selected 54th overall in the second round of the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns.
Keita Bates-Diop is back on the basketball floor, now trying to make a name for himself ahead of the NBA draft.
Bates-Diop worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday morning, along with a handful of other NBA prospects. The workout comes just days after it was announced Bates-Diop was one of 69 prospects invited to the NBA Draft Combine, which is set for May 16-20.

Other NBA prospects that worked out alongside Bates-Diop on Monday included Kansas star Udoka Azubuike, Florida's Jalen Hudson and Houston guard Rob Gray.
Bates-Diop is projected as a late-first to early second-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, which is set for June 21 in Brooklyn. The last Buckeye to be selected in the draft, D'Angelo Russell, was selected by the Lakers in 2015.
