Semi Ojele is a much better Power Forward

[BlackCeltic]

Of course we would love to have Baynes back. But if you want TRUE toughness at PF then even (I dare say) Semi Ojele is a better option than Marcus Morris. Mook isn't built for this.

Nothing else seems to be working and if nothing else Semi has always brought intensity and he works at it defensively.  Why not?

The offense is a liability but a few of these guys have become offensive liabilities lately.

I actually like it the more i think about it, at least until Baynes is healthy.

I'd be good with this until they can get Baynes back. Might address problems with the 2nd unit/2nd quarter too.  Someone tell Brad...

Can semi rebound? I like semi. I think he should get more minutes. I think he can be a productive bench guy. But as a starting PF? I’m not sure.

If you swap Semi for Morris it does create "one less mouth to feed" on offense.

As he doesn't get minutes, he hasn't been able to develop his offense, which, when gets going is fine. In his last year at SMU he averaged 16.9 ppg and was AAC player of the year. My point is, he has offensive chops, just is a defensive specialist here.

Stevens won't bench Morris though.

Semi is 9 of 16 (28 points) in his last 15 games while carrying a grueling 85 minutes of court time.

It's funny how injuries play out. The one season the Celtics could have sustained three or four big injuries? They've had too many guys needing shots from day one.
