Following potential 2017 draftees...

Lol. I can't believe all the people that are sold on Semi . Not a nba player

Yeah he is. He needs to work on his defense, rebounding and ball handling, but he can play. He may not be an elite defender or a star, but he'll be a rotation player mostly on the wing. He'll probably get picked between 26 and 30. He'll put in the work to improve his lateral quickness and defend.

I cant believe you still post here because you are not a real poster.

Watching Patton, his feet and reactions are a bit slow. He doesn't look like he'll be able to play the 4, like at all. On top of that his free-throw percentage sucks and his rebound numbers are a bit soft. I think he's going to be a project. I can see why DX has him right next to Anigbogu in their mock. I could see him sliding, tbh.

I actually think he has the potential to be an elite defender

He looks like Myles Turner without the length and without the killer j.

Thornwell was not impressive either

I was a Thornwell fan for the Jazz until I listened to his interview following his Jazz workout. I'd pass.

The more I watch tape and dig into stats the more Semi Ojeleye stands out. I looked into the offensive and defensive ratings of every college prospect in the DX top 100. He ranked 2nd in offensive rating. Only player higher was Markkanen.

-Tested extremely well athletically at the Combine putting up better athletic numbers than some guards at over 240 pounds.
-Raved about by scouts for having a great work ethic.
-Well spoken, went to Duke so you know he's a smart kid.
-Was highly recruited.
-Efficient on the basketball court. Shoots it well from 2 and 3, gets to the line a ton, rebounds the ball, plays with effort.
-His versatility is huge in today's nba
-His advanced stats stand out.

I think he could be the steal of the draft. Things like lateral movement on defense, learning isolation moves, tightening ball handling, and decision making can be improved through hard work.

Why, did he have an annoying voice?
