Ojeleye with some eye-opening shooting splits: 52.9/42.4/78.5% Averages 6 free throw attempts per game. How was he available at 37 again?

Played in a weak conference and is older because he sat on the bench at Duke and transferred. Can shoot and is a specimen, albeit a tweener.

BTW, we're losing a bunch of guys if we want to create cap space, so there's no reason we'll have a Semi vs Nader deathmatch.

True. I really do wonder if Ainge does indeed have a fetish with tweeners. There were some decent stash and big euros that he could've picked up at the 5. What does he do with Mickey, Yabusele, and Ojeleye?
Mickey is gone after SL, IMO.  But, throw Crowder in there too.

Really excited about Ojeleye.  I don't care that he is "old".  He has an NBA-ready body, so he can push guys around at NBA level, just like he did in college.

With him on the floor, SEMI-finals would be kind of guaranteed.  ;)

Wow, I wasn't familiar with the guy but he looks like he can contribute.  I don't really expect 2nd rounders to even stick in the league but this guy looks like an NBA player.   That's cool!

And I think we just found the Board's next new 2nd round binky to follow in the footsteps of Bill Walker, Leon Powe, Semih Erden, Big Baby Davis, Ryan Gomes, and Jordan Mickey.

i think he will make the team next season....as there is a decent chance that Crowder is not part of the team next season

better for Crowder also as fans is really on his azz.... just for playing hard

Semi is one of the kids who might stick after all the dust settles in July. They'll need a few like this to fill out the roster.

We got this pick, as well as a second last year, from trading Brandan Wright to Phoenix (two weeks after we got him for Rondo).  So essentially we got this pick from the Rondo trade.

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.

I can't wait to hear Tommy.
