On Verge of Producing First-Ever First-Round NBA Draft Picks, Chris Holtmann Calls It “An Important Moment” For His Ohio State Program

Much of the conversation surrounding the end of the Buckeyes’ 2021-22 season revolved around the things Chris Holtmann still has yet to accomplish at Ohio State. In less than two months, though, he’ll be able to cross one such item off of that list – two times over.

If most mock draft projections hold true between now and June 23, Holtmann will have two former pupils go in the first round of the NBA draft, something he has not yet achieved in four previous drafts during his tenure at Ohio State as well as the six combined years he spent as head coach at Gardner-Webb and Butler.
