2017 NBA Mock Draft: Fultz to Celtics, Ball to Lakers after lottery

Draft status: In with an agent

SMU’s Semi Ojeleye was another prospect who tested well athletically at the Combine coming through with a 40.5-inch vertical and the third fastest lane agility time. At 6-foot-7 and 241 pounds, those numbers are incredibly impressive. Ojeleye is basically built to play the modern small ball power forward position where he can use his size to hold off bigger players and his athleticism to contain smaller ones. The one thing you’d like to see out of Ojeleye is a longer wingspan because at 6-foot-10, it’s hard to imagine him offering up much in the way of weak side rim protection.

On offense, Ojeleye should be sort of a plug-and-play option because he won’t be a ball-dominant scorer. As a junior, he massively improved as a shooter, hitting 42.4 percent of his 3-point attempts. He’ll need that success from deep to stick in order to be the type of floor spacing four that teams will want.

Ojeleye basic profile fits well with what the Toronto Raptors have done in recent season, stockpiling versatile defenders who can shoot it a bit. The SMU product has the tools to be a contributor in a defensive system that relies on switching and his offensive game will take nothing away from DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry, assuming the latter opts to return to the team in free agency.
