Two Keys of E.J. Liddell’s Development Will Be Showcased During His Third Ohio State Season

E.J. Liddell gave it some thought. Some real thought.

He went through workouts with various NBA teams, participated in last month’s 40-player G League Elite Camp and took the pre-draft process nearly all the way to the deadline for potential draftees to make a decision about whether to remain in the draft or return to college.

Ultimately, to the benefit of Ohio State and, he hopes, his future draft stock, he chose to stay in college.

By the time he announced he’d stay in school, it was readily apparent that staying in the draft meant he’d almost certainly go unselected.
