Alexis Ajinca (NOP) – “Guest Star”

Profile:
Center: 7’2, 248 lbs; 8th year, France
NBA Role: offensive-minded pivot
No matter the circumstance, Alexis Ajinca seems to play well in an understudy/“guest” starter role; talent is prevalent but when (if ever) will Ajinca break out?; roll scorer: Alexis either strides down the lane or pops out for a J; underrated aspect of his offense? escape dribble pull-ups (nice footwork for a 7-footer) – Ajinca’s pretty nasty for a “Who He Play For?” five man – rises up with confidence, gets by hard charging defenders; gets postered…a lot, the drawback of going after shots on the inside; needs to adopt more of a mean streak on the glass; does Alvin Gentry’s system cater to him & AD at the same time or is Ajinca destined to remain a ‘third’ big?; first name is pronounced “uh-lex-ee”*
*awful phonetic breakdown? yes. — solid try? also, yes.
