I have always thought that Ogilvy is a very talented player but is a bit "Soft" ( hopefully Bevo can instill some mongrel in him )
I barely remember Khazzouh's time in the NBL but what I do remember is that he was fairly dominant.
Who is the better player out of these two?

Khazzouh, from what I remember was very solid big body that was hard to move. Not flashy just business like.
Khazzouh is more talented, he's able to stretch the floor, which helps the team out more and he's great defensively. Not trying to put AJ down, because he's a really talented player but if I was making a team I would definitely take Khazzouh over AJ

I'd take Khazzouh over AJ.
Both showed a bit of an attitude problem in their last NBL seasons & hopefully they are ready to put in the effort for their return.

Yup, have to go with D4444... Both need to pull their fingers out and I think AJ had a worse run with an average coach, management getting in the road and then Sam Young trying to make it all about him, but I think Jules is more well rounded, I think he's a better outside shooter and is just made of stronger stuff inside... He just needs to take it out of second gear as I'm sure Bevo will be putting AJ in the best position to succeed...
I think Ogilvy has a much higher ceiling than Khazzouh. I think they both offer about the same at the moment. In saying that its been a couple of years since I last saw Khazzouh play.

TBH I don't think either of them really has a "ceiling" anymore - they are what they are. Khazzouh is the better offensive player definitely. Or at least he was, given what I saw the last time either of them wore a Kings jersey.

JK for me too. But I don't think you can go far wrong with either. Khazzouh just has a few more strings in his bow. AJ maybe slightly better on the defensive end though.
AJ was fairly clearly the one of the best players in the league his season, while Sanders was around. Stagnated/went backwards when the Young swap was made.

Khazzouh has a good post move, and very good soft hands and tends to get the roll, also better from the outside. AJ very good with the rebounding and very fast for a big man.
