Ogilvy reportedly will hire an agent, so this year he is in.
if he declares 2008 he is a lottery pick, last year likely still a 1st rounder.
this year he can be happy if drafted at all.
but this could make him an intriguing option at #50.
yes, he didn't improve, better: he declined significantly from his freshman season. but maybe this could also be a sign of a not so good coaching. whenever a kid who is able to deliver 17PPG on fantastic 1.70 PPS in his 1st season (and even more important, who doesn't do this on some outstanding athletic abilities) absolutely can't improve from there, you have to ask for the reasons.
however, he still is a very efficient scorer with nice moves and some range and he's still 7 foot. despite the flaws, he is worth consideration IMO.

No thankyou. Being an Aussie, I've watched him closely. I wouldn't blame bad coaching for his lack of improvement, unless bad coaching is what puts him in constant foul trouble or if offence/defence substitution patterns land him on the bench when it's defence they want.

He would have been a bust in 08' as a lottery pick, a bust in 09' as a 1st rounder, as a 2nd rounder in 2010... well it's tough to call anything a bust. He's 2nd round talent and could possibly stick on a roster based on his size and shooting touch, but he isn't anything more. One dimensional big who can shoot ok, but can't defend a locked door.
