Five NBA 2nd round picks who can become stars

Semi Ojeleye (Small Forward/Point Forward, Boston Celtics)

Semi Ojeleye is among the new short-but-skillful breed populating the NBA

With the NBA trying to go smaller and more skilled on the offense while also maintaining size and athleticism in defense. The need of two-way players could not have been any higher.

Semi Ojeleye, the 37th pick by the Boston Celtics from SMU perfectly fits the bill with his 3-pt shooting and impressive rim protecting ability.

Ojeleye started his college basketball career at Duke University alongside the likes of Jabari Parker and Matt Jones but unlike both was sparingly used by the 'Blue Devils'.

In dire need of game time Ojeleye moved to SMU after 2 seasons with Duke and immediately became an integral part of their squad leading them to an AAC championship in 2016, averaging 18.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, was adjudged the AAC player of the year and AAC championship MVP.

Ojeleye is a talented spot up shooter and has an impressive floor spacing ability. Is equally capable of finding open teammates making him a serviceable playmaker.

Ojeleye's multi-positional defensive skills are his biggest strength, he is a switchable defender who can defend the 3's and 4's well and potentially the 5's too, a coveted combination in today's NBA.

He may not be the best two-way player in the 2nd round draft choices but he has the skills and tools to become an NBA-level role player for Boston Celtics or any other team in coming time.
