CelticsBlog exit interview: Semi Ojeleye

Semi Ojeleye looks like the brainchild of an overzealous NBA2K MyPlayer. Biceps? 100. Triceps? 100. Thickness? 100. Even his full name is thick: Jesusemilore Talodabijesu Ojeleye. Coming out of SMU, Ojeleye looked like your typical 3&D guy. After transferring from Duke, he was the 2017 American Athletic Conference’s Player of the Year, averaging 19 points per game and hitting 42.4% from behind the arc. A projected first round pick last summer, Ojeleye slipped into the second round, the Celtics nabbed him at #37, and he became a reliable contributor in his rookie season.
