An undersized guard is one thing, an undersized big on a team without a legitimate big is iffy.

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

Even at the end of the game, we lined up in different formation that he hadn't seen and he called out our play before I got the ball. I heard him calling it out. -John Wall on Brad Stevens

An undersized guard is one thing, an undersized big on a team without a legitimate big is iffy.that was a very weak draft.That's just lip service. He was undersized, lacked the skill and strength to adjust. Ojele can shoot it, attacks the o-boards, and has NBA strength. He may be able to carve out a role. I just don't see them as similar prospects.
Semi doesn't even need a nick name!

I just don't see them as similar prospects.No it wasn't... they liked Mickey. If I'm not mistaken, he got the most guaranteed money for a second round pick. If you're gonna swing, swing for the fences at a position of need... i think we have enough wing depth now. Nothing against Semi his numbers look great... but we literally have a roster with no legitimate center... we cannot go into the season like this.

I don't care what they reportedly believed, he wasn't going to stick in the NBA same way it was clear Jajuan Johnson wouldn't cut it. When you're picking this late, the selections honestly matter very little. You're just looking for a steal regardless of position, and we already have plenty of late picks to round out a roster. This kid is undoubtedly a better prospect than Mickey was, though.

I trust the front office, so I'm fully on board now... this feels more like we have some leaning towards Griffin and Zinger than Hayward
