Semi Ojeleye exploring his draft stock after big year at SMU

Southern Methodist Mustangs junior forward Semi Ojeleye has entered his name into the 2017 NBA Draft but will not hire an agent, according to Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports.

What It Means:

Ojeleye had a strong season in his first year with SMU. He could benefit from another year of experience as he spent his first two seasons languishing on the bench for the Duke Blue Devils. Ojeleye owns one of the most volatile draft stocks out there as he is ranked anywhere from a top-35 prospect by Draft Express, to 82nd by Chad Ford. He will need a strong combine to secure a first-round pick in the draft.

Ojeleye averaged 19.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers per game while shooting 49.7 percent from the field and leading Division I with 7.7 win shares.
