Ojeleye and Yabusele will be fun to have on the team.  Just name-wise.  Imagine Tommy saying those names.


I guess we know who's replacing Jerebko.

Love the pick. It's obvious that CBS wants guys like Semi/Yabu as his 4.

Draft Express had him going 22nd overall. Great break for us.

He's 6'7 241 lbs. Already has an nba body.

One part of his game that def needs improvements is defensive rebounding

I have to temper my intrigue with this prospect... PF is one of the most vicious positions to be undersized... just look at Jordan Mickey... he was a steal too.

We need actual bigs

Jordan Mickey was not a steal.  He never had the skill to play in the NBA.  Ojele has the skill to stick on the right team.  I'm not even sure Yabu has an edge on him, at this point...

Yep.

A little more aggressive at both ends and he would have been a very good NBA player.

But that is often the difference

No. Let them battle it out during SL.

Not raining on the love fest... but we've seen this story before. An undersized guard is one thing, an undersized big on a team without a legitimate big is iffy.

That looks like next year's focus.

Finally

difference is semi can really shoot and score.  mickey was pretty limited to blocking shots.   his game really does compare to draymonds i think.
