The Kings answered wide spread calls to recruit a quality big man by adding Tyler, who has 80 NBA games to his name, to their roster.
The 26-year-old managed eight points and four rebounds in 10 minutes on the court in the Kings last-start loss to Melbourne and Ogilvy is expecting he’ll be better for the run.
“I think any time you someone new to your group it’s going to give the group a big boost,” Ogilvy said.
“Having Jeremy at full strength after his first game and having Jerome back in the NBL is going to be big-time for them.
“It’ll be interesting to see how their cohesion is, whether they can bring those guys in and they’ll fit in straight away or whether it’ll take a couple of weeks, or a couple of games. We’re going to push them and find out.”
