Alexis Ajinca

ALEXIS AJINCA (NOP)

#42•A. AJINCA

C • 7'2, 248 lbs; 9th year, France

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: RESERVE BIG

A nine-year vet, Alexis Ajinca seems to play well in an understudy role; roll scorer: Alexis either strides down the lane or pops out for a midrange 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? – could be an option for spot min. once fully healthy

Ike Anigbogu

IKE ANIGBOGU (IND)

#13•I. ANIGBOGU

C • 6’10, 262 lbs; 2nd year, UCLA

UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: (RAW) INTERIOR SCORER

Two words to describe Ike Anigbogu: raw & athletic; Anigbogu is more of a 'classic' big, tends to do more damage in the paint; can run the floor, block shots & finish off passes in close; not much of a threat outside the lane, working on an automatic midrange J (first); pretty athletic, moves well defensively, works on the glass; faceup threat?: long strides, must learn to (consistently) score off a dribble or two, keep the rock high after catching; needs to avoid an erratic play style, stay controlled defending the interior & operating on the box; current role: high-energy big off the bench? - Nate McMillan's 'ace in the hole?'
