The 2022 NBA draft is quite upon us, but it’s getting ever so closer. This year, Ohio State has two guys that could go in the first round, and forward E.J. Liddell is one of them.
Despite Liddell having a very productive career at OSU, he’s actually not expected to be the first Buckeye off the board. That honor will most likely go to guard Malaki Branham because of his upside, length, and varied game that should translate well to the next level.
But that doesn’t mean Liddell can’t carve out a really good career in the NBA as well. In fact, he’s the more polished of the two and has shown a desire to work really hard and improve his game. There are a lot of self-made guys running around in the NBA, and Liddell is not afraid to work hard to get where he wants to be.
