Yale’s NBA-Drafted Guard Now Dominating the G League with Versatility and Pro Grit
Miye Oni, a 6'5" guard-forward from Yale, stands out as the only Ivy League player selected in the 2019 NBA Draft (58th overall by the Warriors, traded to Utah), proving his elite differentiator is translating college brilliance to the professional level. Now with the Memphis Hustle in the NBA G League, Oni brings a 28-year-old’s intensity, a fearless shooting mindset, and a versatile scoring arsenal that lets him play both guard spots. His journey from Yale to the NBA draft and now the G League showcases relentless work ethic, resilience after early NBA stints, and a personality defined by Bulldog pride and quiet confidence. For teams seeking a high-floor, pro-ready wing with Ivy League discipline and G League experience, Oni is a compelling fit—especially if you need a player who can score, defend multiple positions, and elevate in clutch moments without needing constant playmaking.
