We’ve been waiting on a decision on Ohio State freshman guard Malaki Branham’s future and we received some news on that front Friday. According to an announcement Branham made on his Twitter account, he will be entering his name into the 2022 NBA draft.
This doesn’t come as much of a surprise if you’ve been watching the astronomical rise of his draft stock over the last half of the season. He’s gone from a freshman with a lot of tools and upside, to a freshman that’s figured out how to use those tools to become one of the best players in the Big Ten. And yeah, he still has a ton of upside that’s going to play well at the next level.
