I don't get it, why Ojeleye instead of Robert Williams?

Ojeleye is a limited talent end of the bench guy. Williams is better than Ojeleye right now.

Typical rookie treatment. That's how the NBA is sometimes with rookies

Robert is the superior athlete and shot blocker, but he gets roasted one on one and in the pick & roll. Semi is more fundamentally sound especially on the defensive end.

Ojeleye was still better than Yabu. Was effectively 4v8 when Yabu was on

Yeah, it's Yabu who should be the focus of the criticism here - not Ojeleye. Another incredibly dumb decision by the coaching staff. Actually, Williams would seemingly be an ideal backup big with Baynes out for a team like Milwaukee. It's just more baffling rotation decisions by Brad - nothing new here.

Ojeleye has a lot of experience vs Bucks.

Terry getting double digit minutes is always frightening too. No idea why Brad is like this

Yeah, Rozier royally sucked. He needs to stop chucking 3s and defer more to this teammates. He's too streaky of a shooter.

Lol. Ojeleye sucks on defense.

Daniel Theis and Guerschon Yabusele combined for a -13 in less than 11 minutes. That's tough to swallow in a 1 point loss. Boston needs Aron Baynes to get and stay healthy.

But, yes, definitely better options than our athletic freak rookie who could actually match the length and athleticism of the opposing team.  ::)

Lol, alright. I just don't think a random forum poster is better suited to evaluate defensive ability than numerous NBA scouts and coaches.
