Former SMU standout Semi Ojeleye makes his return to Dallas on Monday night. The No. 37 pick in last summer's NBA draft, Ojeleye and his Celtics will face the Mavericks at the American Airline Center.
While last year's American Conference player of the year still watches the Mustangs when he can, his focus is on his new team. Ojeleye has become a regular part of the Celtics' rotation during their 15-2 start, averaging 2.7 points and 1.6 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game while being one of Boston's top defenders off the bench.
Ojeleye spoke with reporters before shootaround at the American Airlines Center Monday.
