The 2022 NBA draft is just around the corner with the NBA scouting combine acting as a prelude. It just concluded over the weekend with two Ohio State players, Malaki Branham and E.J. Liddell, taking part in all the poking, prodding, and basketball activities.
Included with some of those activities are interviews with teams and media personalities. ESPN draft analyst Mike Schmitz was happy to get in on the mix as well, sitting down with both Buckeye stars that are expected to both go somewhere in the first round.
We already shared the short interview and film session of Schmitz with Branham, and now it’s time to get a look at Liddell’s time in front of the video and on the mic.
If you haven’t yet, it might be worth your time to take a look at the short, ten-minute video of Liddell and Schmitz discussing the power forward’s strengths and who his comparable is.
Great time breaking down film with Ohio State forward EJ Liddell at the NBA Combine. Day one contributor at the next level with the type of defensive versatility and motor that has helped Grant Williams carve out such an important role in the NBA. pic.twitter.com/6C5RP1rjFE

We’ll have more leading up to the NBA draft, during all the festivities in Brooklyn, and reaction afterward. It’ll all be here before you know it with Liddell being one of the most NBA-ready prospects out there.
