This is a legit question. One I asked myself while watching. IA needed a shooter on the court to take some pressure off Gatens, IMO. Smith was blanketing Gatens, and Oglesby would have been a good second option.
To those who don't think he is any good. He is a freshman. Also, he has the ability to hit a shot off the dribble, which is huge. The reasons Fran probably did not put him in more, IMO, are his defense/rebounding difficulties, but sometimes a coach has to live with that to get a scorer in the game.
If we want a scorer in the game why is the discussion May vs Oglesby? They are the same in ppg and in shooting percentages. And that's not including Big Ten only stats where I would assume Oglesby looks worse.
