We are just a day away from the 2022 NBA draft and we are more than likely going to see two Ohio State players taken in the first round. Guard Malaki Branham’s rise on many NBA-types big boards has been astounding after he put together a sensational back-end of the 2021-2022 college basketball season.
Almost everyone agrees he’s done enough to rise above another Buckeye, E.J. Liddell, and hear his name called earlier in the first round. All you have to do to understand the projection of what Branham can be in the NBA is watch some of his highlights at scoring at all three levels of the court.
The official Ohio State Hoops Twitter account has you covered on that with a video of Branham’s highlights from last season to hype up his name being called Thursday night.

It’s crazy how the kid found his game midway through the year and became a potential lottery pick. We can’t wait to see what story Branham writes in the NBA.
