For the first time in 15 years, more than one Buckeye was selected in the NBA draft on Thursday.
Both Malaki Branham (No. 20 overall to the San Antonio Spurs) and E.J. Liddell (No. 41 to the New Orleans Pelicans) were taken in the 2022 draft, and with two Ohio State players hearing their name called in Brooklyn, New York, the Buckeye program can now lay claim to a feat it hadn’t equaled since 2007.
