Most mock drafts have Malaki Branham going just outside the lottery while E.J. Liddell is also projected to go in the second half of the first round in tonight’s NBA draft.
Six other outlets have Branham falling anywhere from 16 to 21. The Ringer has the lowest possible landing spot for Branham, placing him outside the top 20 picks and falling to the Denver Nuggets. Both Sports Illustrated and The Athletic see Branham going at No. 16 to the Atlanta Hawks, while ESPN and Bleacher Report think Branham will be selected at No. 18 by the Chicago Bulls. NBA Draft Room predicts Branham will go No. 17 overall to the Houston Rockets.
Holtmann wasn’t quite as sure of Liddell’s first-round status as he was with Branham’s during his radio appearance on Monday, but still said he expects the two-time All-Big Ten performer to be taken within the first 30 picks.
