The Center will be the 5th offensive option at nearly all times on the floor, with the exception that with Sommerville in the game it is possible the Center might be the 4th option.
We have no idea what Sommerville will do against college competition, though he clearly has significant offensive upside. If he could average 8 ppg and 5 rpg with 48% - 52% FG, that might be very helpful (though if he shoots some 3's and mid-range as much as the post, the FG% would be a little lower).
Regarding Ogbole, though I actually like his potential (2 more years of eligibility), you cannot assume he will score much at all ... maybe 3-4 ppg? But IF ... and that is "IF" ... he can improve in these two significant ways in the off-season he may be able to give 15 - 20 mpg, reducing the pressure and reliance on Sommerville quite a bit: Hands and footwork. And both those are skills that CAN be improved with practice and work. If his footwork can improve, that would help his defense as much or more than his offense - reducing the risk of fouls, allowing him to stay on the court more.
And people on this thread forget how truly awful both Omoruyi's AND Myles Johnson's hands were their 1st year ... and Johnson's his 1st 2 years. Ogbole had less basketball experience coming into JUCO than Omoruyi or Johnson did coming into college, plus was injured for a year and unable to work on his hands and footwork skills.
That said, anyone who doesn't think Omo was and is hugely better than Ogbole is nuts - even with Omo's disappointing season last year.
If Ogbole can improve his footwork and hands, I could see him playing at least 15 mpg, and be a rebounding machine - he was a very good rebounder in extremely limited minutes last year - and a GREAT offensive rebounder. In just 8 mpg over just 10 games last year, Ogbole had 20 rebounds, 2.0 per game ... but an incredible 14 (!!!) offensive rebounds. Think about that: He averaged 1.4 offensive rpg in just 8 mpg ... Double his minutes, plus add a bit of hands and footwork improvement, and I could see Ogbole averaging 4 ppg and 6 rpg, and maybe 1.5 blocks per game, as well as 1 steal per game, but be an especially strong force on the offensive boards.
FYI, last season, Ogbole averaged 0.173 offensive rebounds per minute ... Omoruyi and Woolfolk each averaged about 0.10 offensive rebounds per minute. Ogbole averaged 0.25 reb per minute in limited minutes. Omoruyi averaged 0.33 total reb per minute, while Woolfolk averaged 0.24 total reb per minute ... the next best was J. Davis who averaged 0.14 total reb per minute.
Total for Sommerville and Ogbole at center, hopeful guesstimate (not a prediction, just reasonable hope); 12 ppg, 11 rpg ... last year Woolfolk + Ogbole + Omoruyi: 14 ppg, 13 rpg.
