NCAA Basketball: Top 10 mid-major players in 2019 NBA draft

No. 4 – Miye Oni (Guard, Yale)

Yale’s Miye Oni is the first underclassman on the list, the 6-6 junior guard has decided to stay in the draft. In his final year at Yale, Oni increased his point total to 17.1 per game, he has always been a good rebounder, grabbing over six per game in each of his three seasons and he dished out 3.6 assists per game the last two seasons. Where he really improved in his last year was his three-point shooting, he shot 37% from behind the line last season, up from the 31% he shot as a sophomore.

Where Oni excels is in his ability to finish, he can finish through contact and can do so with both hands. He is also very good at scoring through off the ball motion, despite being comfortable with the ball in his hands. While he is an adequate defender, he has something the NBA likes, versatility, he has the ability to guard the 1, 2, or 3 positions. A drawback for Oni is that he can be a bit turnover prone with the ball in his hands, but he will be 22 by the time the season starts and is more of a polished product that could contribute right away in the right situation.
