2. Semi Ojeleye, PF, SMU

A transfer from Duke, Ojeleye is as athletic as any player in the tournament. Semi is a load at a chiseled 6-foot-7 235 pounds. The most impressive thing about his game is his ability to bully people down low and knock down three-point shots, connecting on 42.8% of them this season.

Ojeleye is also a terrific defender and is truly a player that can make an impact on both sides of the floor. SMU has a great team this year and could make a run. If they do, you will be hearing the name “Semi Ojeleye” quite often.
