Latest ‘For the Win’ NBA mock draft predicts where E.J. Liddell and Malaki Branham will land

Are you excited about the NBA draft this year with two Buckeyes projected to go in the first round? #GoBucks

We’re a little over a month away from the 2022 NBA draft and after what many would call a dry spell for Ohio State in the annual event, this year proves to be different.

That’s because the Buckeyes have two players projected to go in the first round with E.J. Liddell and Malaki Branham both expected to hear their names called somewhere among the first 32 picks. But where exactly the duo lands has been all over the place.

We haven’t followed too many of these mock drafts, but For the Win just released its latest projection, and since we’re getting closer and closer to all the events at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, we thought we’d check in and take the temperature of where things are.

Here’s what Bryan Kalbrosky says about where the two Buckeye stars from last season will go in this year’s shenanigans.
