Our 2022 NBA Draft scouting report series continues with a look at Malaki Branham, a guard prospect out of Ohio State.
Malaki Branham is a polished score-first guard from the Ohio State University. He was particularly effective at getting into the teeth of the defense and finding ways to score in the mid-range and with the floater. He has a crafty package of moves that got him around defenders in the 4-8 foot range. This portion of the floor is notoriously difficult to score from, so it could be viewed as a positive that he was so efficient and effective from those spots.
