It's too early, but I'd say it's unlikely, this year's rookies are good. Ojeleye only averages 3.5p, 1.5r. The only thing he stands out so far is the 3P%.

I guess the 1st and 2nd team will have these players:

Simmons
Markkanen
Tatum
Ball
Fox
Collins
Kuzma
Smith
Mitchell
James

After those you have Josh Jackson, Malik Monk, Bogdanovic, Isaac all put good numbers. For similar players Jordan Bell plays better. So, Ojeleye's got a long way to go.

Semi and taturm are both alumni of Hoops House, an extensive training camp that has players living in the same house for an extensive training program getting them ready for team tryouts prior to draft.There is a very good video that features Jaylen and some bits of Semi. That is when i got intrigued but never thought the Celts would get a chance.Semi has the same work ethic and fits well with Tatum and Brown.
Semi has defensive DNA  with his lateral agility and unmovable stance.He is getting more comfortable every game.He has been tasked with guarding Lebron,Giannis,Porzingis,George and can easily switch off to guards and keep them from turning the corner.
Once he broke the ice, he is without hesitation taking and making his corner threes.Which makes even more of an asset spreading the floor.
With Marcus Morris back he adds another engaged defender to Smart and Rozier on 2nd unit.
And on certain match ups Brad will substitute him into first unit.

For Danny to have picked him up where he did was a steal.The one drawback is he has average wingspan not like Kelly but it does not help his shot blocking or rebounding.He has yet to start throwing his body around.He plays in control which suits a rookie and doesn't wave a red flag at refs.The press has become very positive lately and the announcers are turning their attention on him as he continues to hit 3 point shots in crunch time.
