Snapbacks and Handshakes: The 2017 Draft (Raps pick #23)

[HeadtopChunes]

The thing with Ojeleye is that he played a lot of PF in college. He himself has admitted it's going to be an adjustment for him to play SF in the NBA. I think he can make the transition, but nevertheless, he will have to make that move. He can be either Jae Crowder if does adjust to the NBA SF position, or as one of the posters here mentioned, I could see Joey Graham, too. I do think he's very much in play for the pick at 23.

Yeah his perimeter skills need work. I think he'll be fine tho. At least with us he'd probably spend most of the year in the 905 developing it.

If the Thunder take him he's getting thrown into the fire because they are more desperate for minutes at the 3 than us.

Seen this before.

CRAPPY COMPARISON that he makes.

I hate that he likens him to Draymond without any actual metrics to support it.

Because in reality, they don't compare defensively. Him throwing out on this vid is nothing more than his heresay that isn't substantiated by any numbers. FACT is Green averaged more blocks and steals in college and was known as a VERY good defender even then, Semi was not.

Not to mention Draymond is LONGER which allows him to guard 4s well, Semi will be strong enough to not get thrown around but his length will be the issue for players to shoot or go over him. But yeah the rest is a decent piece on what he does well offensively.

Yeah the draymond comparison I did not agree with at all. THey are not on the same level defensively but i also think semi is much better offensively than draymond. HE will be able to play some 4 in small ball line ups but clearly against longer 4s he's at a disadvantage

6'7 with a 6'9 wingspan. He'll be at a disadvantage against virtually all 4s, at least from a physical measurements point of view.

6'10 Wingspan but yeah you are right. He couldn't protect the rim at all in college

One poster has said that Semi was their most important player so they didn't want him to get into foul trouble. So I guess they didn't want him reaching for steals or challenging people at the rim and getting into trouble.
