Dreams will be realized for a pair of Buckeyes in just two days’ time.
The NBA draft approaches on Thursday night, and something would have to go awry for either Malaki Branham or E.J. Liddell to not hear their name called – if not in the first round. Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann said Monday on 97.1 The Fan that Branham’s first-round status is a virtual lock, while Liddell’s own landing spot may see a bit more unpredictable.
Holtmann envisions a bright future for both his former scarlet and gray stars at the next level, and thinks each has a chance to end up with stable franchises due to their potential positioning in the draft.
