Don't watch any college ball, except for a little tournament, and had never heard of him till Baja posted this thread. I know that it's silly to like a player by watching a small highlight video, but OMG! Given the combination of size, athleticism, shooting, and work ethic, how the hell is he projected to go so low? If that video is anything to go by, I wouldn't mind him being picked if he falls to 34, or if we pick another late first round pick.

I think most sites have him ranked too low right now. I'm guessing that after workouts start (and assuming he does well) I could see him going in the early to mid 20's.

The knocks on Ojeleye are legit though. He is an older prospect, his is pretty much limited to straight lines drives and doesn't really create his own shot, has lapses on defense, doesn't add much in the way of steals or blocks.

None of that really bothers me. Ojeleye won't be a star but he can be a valuable role player and he's already adopted that mindset. I'd love to have him.

Ojeleye is going to be a part of the Kings workout tomorrow along with Jarrett Allen and several guys the Kings are likely looking at for their summer league team as undrafted free agents.

Really happy he's working out for us... Him and Juwan Evans are the two guys I really love outside of the top ten.
