Cody Zeller and Christian Watford, two Indiana forwards instrumental in the
Hoosiers' 2011-12 return to prominence, aren't ready to leave campus just yet.

Cody和Christian還不想這麼早離開學校

Both Zeller and Watford will forgo the NBA draft and return to Indiana for
the 2012-13 season, the school announced Tuesday morning.

兩人雙雙放棄今年的NBA選秀

"I grew up hoping that one day I would get the opportunity to play in the
NBA, but at this point, I'm not ready for my college experience to be over,"
Zeller said in a statement.

Cody表示，自己最大的夢想就是打NBA，但是他認為他的大學生涯不應該就此結束

Zeller's averages of 15.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 62.4 percent shooting
(fourth in the nation) in his freshman season earned him Big Ten co-Freshman
of the Year and honorable mention AP All-America honors. His interior play
led Indiana to a 27-9 record -- a 15-win improvement from the 2010-11 record
of 12-20 -- and the program's first Sweet 16 appearance since 2002.

Cody本賽季在IU戰功彪炳

ESPN NBA Insider Chad Ford listed Zeller as a likely top-10 pick in his most
recent mock draft. His older brother, North Carolina senior forward Tyler
Zeller, also is considered a likely first-round pick.

ESPN認為如果Cody進入選秀的話，將有前十順位的身價。他的二哥，北卡的Tyler Zeller

也同樣在本次選秀中擁有第一輪身價

Watford, who gave Indiana its signature win of the season with a last-second
3-pointer to beat Kentucky on Dec. 10, had his most efficient season as a
Hoosier in 2011-12, improving his 3-point field-goal percentage from 38.1 to
43.7 percent. But the junior wasn't beloved by NBA scouts, ranking just No.
131 in Ford's projections.

雖然Watford在12月絕殺了UK，並且在甜蜜16強對UK同樣交出不錯表現，NBA的球探們並不

非常看好他在NBA的前景，預測他最多只能第二輪中段

The two-fold return for Indiana ensures continued high expectations for coach
Tom Crean's team, which began the offseason ranked No. 1 in ESPN.com's early
preseason poll. The Hoosiers will return all five starters while adding a
top-10 recruiting class, led by No. 3-ranked point guard Yogi Ferrell, No.
10-ranked small forward Jeremy Hollowell and No. 15-ranked power forward
Hanner Mosquera-Perea.

此前ESPN在其“有夠早”的2012賽季預測中將IU評為全美第一



前鋒雙星Cody Zeller以及Christian Watford決定留校後，IU今年打進甜蜜16強的先發+

主力替補將全數歸隊，加上被Rival.com評為2012全美第二的recruiting class

（http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1342258），明年的IU將

回歸傳統勁旅本色




有沒有鄉民和我一樣期待明年的Hoooooosiers呢?!
