...so what's the catch?  6'7" great athletes who can shoot and defend don't last until the second round.

Honestly asking because I didn't study this far down the draft board.  Why is he still available?

Draft Express had him going at pick 22.   I've been wanting him but thought there was no chance..

Fell through the cracks

Actually Ojeleye is a really good get in this range.  Draftexpress had him going at #22 in their mock.

Danny has a knack for finding useful players in round 2.

Ojeleye is an undersized power forward but he is very strong and he can step out and make the deep 3 or the pick and pop shot with efficiency.

I like this draft selection.  He's basically an insurance policy if Yabu doesn't pan out.

So the Celtics have incoming:
Tatum scoring SF.  Already have Jaylen but I think he slides over to SG now.
Ojeleye PF.  Already have Yabu but not sure if he's ready to come over yet.
C.  Already have Zizic who said he is definitely coming over for this year.

Don't know what we do with Nader.

I cannot believe Semi was there at 37... Ugh, one of my favorite players in the entire draft. We are STACKED with wing players. Jae Crowder must be gone. I'd venture they are more likely to go after Blake now? Hayward is redundant with Brown, Tatum and Semi. Semi is not a stash kind of guy.
The way the game has changed, you can never have enough quality wings.

Wonder if the Bulls use the 3.5M from the Bell trade to help buyout Wade or Rondo.

Smart
Brown
Crowder
Tatum
Ojeleye
Yabusele

Putting together a pretty decent group of guys who can cover 2-4 in a pinch

Aren't there two more roster spots specifically for the D league?  Semi Ojeleye may be taking one of those.

Yes but with only Horford  and Zizic as our Biggs we need to add some size to that. I'm thinking Johnathan Motley.

The Warriors bought Jordan Bell for cash. We could have easily had him.
