Jesusemilore Talodabijesu Ojeleye.
That’s his full name, but the Southern Methodist University product goes by Semi - who happens to be just as unique as his name.
What makes him so unique?
For one, Ojeleye’s college experience did not shape out the way he and many others expected. Ojeleye was named the 2013 Parade Magazine National Player of the Year coming out of Ottawa High School in Kansas. He accepted a scholarship from coaching legend Mike Krzyzewski and Duke University, where he spent the first two years of his college career.
However, Semi spent most of his freshman season on the bench behind current NBA players Jabari Parker (Milwaukee Bucks) and Rodney Hood (Utah Jazz).
