You may have seen former SMU guard and current Boston Celtic rookie Semi Ojeleye more than hold his own as a rookie against Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. You may have even seen him thrive as a 3-and-D player in the regular season off the bench, or as a 19-point per game scorer as a junior for the Mustangs of SMU last year.
Before the success at SMU and in the NBA for the Celtics, however, was an ugly breakup with the Duke program and head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Jesusemilore Talodabijesu Ojeleye (my new favorite name, by the way) signed with the Blue Devils in 2013 as a four-star small forward out of Kansas.
