Auburn Hills — Michael Ojo spent Tuesday morning a long way from where he thought eight years ago that he’d be.
Far from his family, far from his friends, far from his village and everything he was comfortable with in Lagos, Nigeria — almost 6,000 miles away.
Ojo, a 7-foot-1, 304-pound behemoth from Florida State, was working out for the Pistons at their practice facility, looking to get an NBA job. He’s a long shot, not projected to be even a second-round draft pick, but his dream is no different than any of the top prospects.
