Kingsbury by a long shot. Oglesby is a good shooter but still looks like he belongs in 7th grade. Kingsbury was an amazing shooter and had the build to battle in D1.

Kingsbury could shoot from a mile out, but he was a very one dimensional player. I hope Oglesby can build his game to become a more complete player. And hopefully Oglesby never gets tanked and pisses in the lobby of a Holiday Inn.

He was strong. I don't remember too much jumping ability. Not sure that the dribble-drive was really a strength of his game, either.

Funny story about this, I was once arrested in college for doing to same thing at the Holiday Inn (10 or so years ago and man was I shtfaced). When I woke up in jail the next day and got my police report, it indicated that when I was confronted by police I informed that I was Chris Kingsbury. Needless to say I think I was very lucky only to get a public intox.
But to the OP, I say at this point Kingsbury dominates everything. Oglesby has a lot of work to do to get Kingsbury status.
Oglesby is a good shooter no doubt, but i feel their alot of people on the start Josh bandwagon simply because he hit a few three's, he has not shown enough on defense, if he starts over Marble it is because Marble is needed to be fresh to backup Cartwright
people seem to either ignore or forget Marble did end lst season as a starter

Kingsbury by a mile. Not only could he hit it from a mile out, he was tough as nails and intimidated by no one.
Chris was the Brett Farve of basketball. Fearless and took some ill-advised shots but he had an uncanny ability to drain the deep 3 when the pressure was on.
I recall a home game against MSU that was pretty tight coming down the wire. Chris was about a step behind the line with a guy in his face but put it up anyway. He missed, we grabbed the offensive rebound and the ball came right back out to Kingsbury who had backed up to 5-6 feet behind the line. As soon as he catches it, he pulls the trigger again and drains it. A couple possessions later he drills it from just as deep on the other side of the floor. The announcers were raving about his range, MSU had to call a timeout and CHA was rocking. When the kid got hot he was something to watch.

I pick Oglesby in all events, he won't be too drunk making an *** of himself shooting half court shots during games. Kingsbury sucked and was about as amazing as Pierre Pierce was to the Hawkeye program...I'm not 100% positive but pretty sure neither of them graduated or finished there career with the Hawks and it wasn't because the league came a calling.
