NBA DRAFT: SMU’s Ojeleye bringing more than athleticism to the pros

The Thunder is no stranger to targeting athleticism in the NBA Draft. There may be no better athlete in this year's collegiate crop than Jesusemilore Talodabijesu Ojeleye.

You can call him Semi Ojeleye (pronounced Shem-me O-juh-lay). The 6-foot-7, 235-pounder out of Southern Methodist may have a full name that rivals former Thunder forward Serge Ibaka's birth name for length, but it's his versatile game at forward which has him pegged as a late-first round selection.

While he's a bit older (22) than your normal draftee, the limited college experience hasn't kept scouts from gushing about Ojeleye's physical makeup.
