Wonder if Semi gets a call from BS, could be a nice addition at the bottom of the bench for if the Cs face Giannis or Durant in playoffs. Not a rotational player but I like the idea of having him as an emergency (fouls trouble/ injury option) in the playoffs.

I'd like to have Ojeleye back. I think the Bucks signed him originally because he was a tough matchup for Giannis for 15 minutes a game and they didn't want a competitor to have him.

But man is he awful offensively.

I do wonder if Ime could unlock something within Ojeleye that Stevens couldn't/didn't.

He would not.

That's too bad and it's unfortunate for Semi.   Actually sounds a bit unfair to him -- but I'm sure that I'm not considering all the repercussions.    If he could be on the playoff roster I think it would be a good addition for a few minutes here and there of defense and fouls to give.   If not eligible for playoffs I don't see any reason to bring him in unless Ime sees some value as a practice defender.

i always liked and rooted for semi....i love underdogs. but this team does not need him back.

he did well for being the 37th pick in the draft. 6 years in the nba and nearly $8 million in salary alone.

i wish him the best.

Even if he were eligible, I'd pass.  Grant is a superior player in a similar role at both ends of the court, and we only have room in the rotation for one of them.

I'd take him over a deep bench guy like Fitts, I guess, but I'm not losing sleep over our 14th man (or whatever he is) not being optimal.

this. although he'd likely be closer to 10th-12th on the depth chart.  behind the starters and primary bench guys PP, White, Theis and GWill.  only question is if he's ahead of Nesmith, Hauser and Kornet which depending on the matchup, he probably would be. 

being ineligible for the playoffs pretty much makes it a moot point though
