11. Semi Ojeleye

One of the Bucks’ new acquisitions this year, it will be fun to watch Semi Ojeleye battle for a spot in the rotation. He’s theoretically a guy who could replace the P.J. Tucker role, however, I wouldn’t go that far. He is switchable on defense, capable of defending multiple positions. However, he doesn’t have nearly the basketball I.Q. or communication skills that Tucker did.

Next. Bucks' offseason review. dark

Ojeleye does bring a bit more on offense, including a more proficient shot (at least on paper). Still, opponents don’t respect his three-point shooting and he’ll have to prove it again this season. In a perfect world for Ojeleye, he’ll prove himself as an above-average defender who can help the Bucks switch while hitting threes at a near 40 percent clip.
