SEMI OJELEYE - F, SMU
Semi Ojeleye only needed one season to prove his transfer from Duke was a smart decision. After playing just 143 total minutes in two seasons with the Blue Devils, the 6-foot-7, 235-pound forward was the AAC Player of the Year and honorable mention All-American. He averaged 19 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in his lone season as a Mustang, and shot 49 percent from the floor and 42 percent from deep in the process.

Though it's possible Ojeyele goes late in the first round, ESPN's Chad Ford is skeptical.

"He has the NBA body and power, as well as a sweet shooting stroke," said Ford. "He's the type of player who looks as if he could make an impact right away. But his age (22), tweener status and poor defensive metrics make him far from a lock to go in the first round."

Fair enough, but coming back to school wont change the "Tweener status", or make him any younger. If age is an issue, he's better off taking his chances this year.

I have to agree with the original premise

When people say he should go bc he can't change age or tweener status, I get confused. To me, that as much reason for him to stay, do what he wants. Striking while the iron is hot could mean building brand by being a NPOY candidate and going in a draft w far less depth. Beyond that, he's already old and if Ben Moore measured at 6'6, semi is gonna be NBA short. He could use a year to try and polish the 3 skills.
