https://tinyurl.com/yazkvs53 As recently as a couple weeks ago, mock drafts had the Timberwolves selecting Ohio State forward Keita Bates-Diop … in the first round. 近两个星期，模拟选秀预测灰狼队将在首轮挑选 Keita Bates-Diop。 But on Thursday, Minnesota nabbed the Big Ten Player of the Year in the second round with the No. 48 overall pick. 最终灰狼队在第二轮48顺位捡走了这名 Big Ten 联盟年度最佳球员。 “We were very surprised he was still there, but we liked him a lot,” Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau said. “He was in the discussion at No. 20 for a long time. … We felt we were very fortunate.” 「当下非常惊讶他仍是待选状态，我们非常中意他。」Tom Thibodeau 说道。「他一 直在第20顺位的人选名单内...，我们感到十分幸运。」 The 6-foot-8 forward spent four years with the Buckeyes, the third of which was stunted by injuries ranging from a broken leg to a stress fracture to a sprained ankle. But he rebounded to average 19.8 points and 8.7 rebounds a game as a senior, while shooting 48 percent from the floor and 36 percent from 3-point range, though Bates-Diop told the Washington Post he can shoot better than that. 这位6尺8前锋在俄亥俄州大待了四年，第三年因伤所困，从腿骨骨折、疲劳性骨折到 脚踝扭伤。但他在大四这年重新振作，打出场均19.8分和8.7个篮板，同时有48%的投篮 命中率以及36%的三分线命中率。 He can score from all three levels, and his offensive versatility caused problems for Big Ten defenses. Defensively, Bates-Diop blocked 1.6 shots a game last season. He told Hoops Hype he can play shooting guard, small forward and power forward. 多样化进攻手段造成 Big Ten 联盟防守者不少麻烦。Bates-Diop 场均也送出1.6记阻 攻，自觉有能力从二号打到四号。 “I can switch on defense, one through four or one through five,” he said. “I can guard multiple positions and run with the bigs, too.” 「我有换防能力，一号到四号或是一号到五号。」他说道。「我能够防守数个位置。」 His 7-foot-3 wingspan adds to his defensive prowess. 7尺3寸臂展加强了他的防守优势。 “It will be hard for people to get shots over me,” Bates-Diop told HoopsHype. 「进攻者很难在我面前轻松出手。」Bates-Diop 说道。 Bates-Diop was the second wing the Wolves selected with as many picks, addressing their biggest need as well as a team can in a draft. Bates-Diop 是灰狼队透过本届选秀会补进的第二位侧翼球员，也一并修补阵容需求。 “We thought we were able to address some of our needs,” Thibodeau said. “The versatility of both guys is important for our team.” 「原本寄望能够解决一些阵容需求。」Thibodeau 解释说。「两名新秀的多功能特质， 对球队十分重要。」 --- KBD的自我行销。 以年纪来看，这只完成度相对较高，希望能提供些立即战力援助。 --
