    E.J. Liddell

    Brooklyn Nets

    Forward

    Liddell was considered a first-round prospect by many back in 2022, but injuries led to him falling to the 41st pick and missing his entire rookie year. He hasn’t played many real minutes in his two healthy NBA campaigns, but has proved to be a defensive stalwart in the G League and Summer League.
