Semi Ojeleye: SF/PF - 6'7" in shoes - 241 lbs - 8'6" standing reach - 40.5" max vertical.
No, I'm not suggesting we draft Semi with either of our 1st round picks. However, he's being projected as a mid to early 2nd round pick, and I think the Kings should take a long look at him if he's still on the board at that point. Personally, I think he's talented enough to be a late first rd pick, and it wouldn't surprise me to see one of the teams picking there grab him.
He's a little older than most in the class at almost 23 yr's of age. He was originally recruited by Duke, and spent his freshman and sophmore years there sitting on the bench for the most part. After sitting out a year he transfered to SMU, where he finally got to play.
34.0 mpg - 19.0 ppg - 48.7% fgp - 42.4% 3pp (out of a 172 three point attempts) 6.9 rpg.
Rather than give my opinion, I'm including an article by Sam Vecenie, who I think is an excellent judge of college talent. He thinks out of the box a bit more than the traditional college beat writer. Needless to say, I think Ojeleye would be a great pick up with the 34th pick in the draft. He would add more depth at the SF position, and he would be another top notch defender, who can also shoot the ball.
