Oklahoma City Thunder: 5 options for pick No. 21 in the 2017 NBA Draft

4. Semi Ojeleye, SF/PF, SMU

2017 stats (Jr. year):  35 GP, 18.9 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 1.5 APG, 0.4 STL, 0.4 BLK, 2.1 3s, 1.4 TOs, 48.8 FG%, 42.4 3PT%, 78.5 FT%, 34.1 MPG

On the other hand, a guy with a lower ceiling who may be more ready to contribute right away is Semi Ojeleye.

The 6’7″ wing is built like a grown man because, well, he sorta is; at 23, he’s one of the oldest players in his class. Regardless, his advanced age is part of what gives him a pro-ready frame, and impressive maturity to go with it.

Originally, Ojeleye spent his first two seasons of college at Duke — participating in merely 23 games during his time there. Seeing the writing on the wall, the stout wing decided to transfer for more playing time.

Safe to say, he made the right decision.

His numbers (which you can see above) exploded. In particular, the fact that he attempted 172 threes on the year and nailed 73 of them (a healthy 42.4 percent) helped his NBA prospects greatly.

If his shooting is real, which appears to be the case, at least in pre-draft workouts…

…then you can project him as a model 3-and-D wing. These days, it’s crucial you have a few of those on your roster. Especially the kind that can play small-ball-4 like the former SMU man can.

Oklahoma City’s current starter at the 3 is impending restricted free agent Andre Roberson. If some other team were to offer him an absurd contract and Presti opts to not match it, then having Ojeleye waiting in the wings would make the loss sting a bit less. He’s a guy that can play day one, and help the Thunder win games in 2017-18.
