Boston Celtic swingman Semi Ojeleye looks to have turned a corner in his development with another big game, this time dropping 18 points and 6 boards against the Orlando Magic on Jan. 15.
The Southern Methodist University product has finally found the “3” to go with his defense at exactly the moment the Celtics need consistent scoring at the four. Putting up career highs in minutes (17.49), field goal percentage (46.3%), 3-point attempts (3.3) and percentage (42.4%) as well as per-game scoring (7.2 points) and rebounds (3.5), the one-time second-round draft pick looks to have found his game in his fourth season in the league.
Ojeleye was on fire against the Magic on Friday, hitting 6 of his 10 field goal attempts, and going 3-of-6 from beyond the arc while coming off the bench.
If you missed the game or just want to see it again, check out the highlight video put together by Tomasz Kordylewski embedded above — it might just be time to call him “fully” Ojeleye.
