“Nowhere on any draft boards” ahead of his freshman season, Malaki Branham is now quickly climbing up them as he officially leaves his college career behind.
While Branham’s breakout performance came in the form of a 35-point explosion against Nebraska on Jan. 2, he said the real turning point came in late February, when he scored 27 points on nearly 70 percent shooting and dished an assist to E.J. Liddell that forced overtime in an eventual win over Indiana.
Holtmann said “I don’t think anybody” anticipated quite how fast Branham would become a bona fide top NBA prospect, but it was after the Buckeyes’ second matchup with Indiana – and not the Nebraska game – that it seemed to turn into a reality. “I wasn’t thinking about four years either. I wasn’t. I did think that maybe it would be a two-year process, a three-year process,” Holtmann said. “But this is a blessing for him and his family, and that’s the way I look at it.”
