Boston Celtics: Player of the Week – Semi Ojeleye
The Boston Celtics knew what kind of player Semi Ojeleye would become in the NBA.
After a college career that started at Duke University and ended at Southern Methodist University, Semi Ojeleye was selected by the Boston Celtics in the second-round of the 2017 NBA Draft.
Semi Ojeleye made the decision to transfer from Duke to SMU in hopes of achieving his goals of reaching the NBA. It sounds contradictory to leave a great basketball program that Duke offers, but Ojeleye wasn’t seeing the court nearly enough to be noticed by NBA scouts.
