Alexis Ajinca | Power Forward | HTV Hyeres Toulon
Class: International Height: 7'0 Weight: 225lbs High School: NA Hometown: St. Etienne, France Stats |
Strengths: Very long and lean player with an excellent wingspan. Runs the floor above average for a big man. Ajinca is able to create problems for the opposing teams as an imposing force down in the paint whether it be blocking shots, or boxing out. Ajinca is a decent shooter for a 7 footer as well, and has a decent post game developing. Ajinca has also shown to be a very quick learner, and he has improved on some of the weaknesses he once had to the point that they are no longer weak spots in his game.
Weaknesses: Ajinca suffers from the same thing a lot of the taller players suffer from recently. A lack of bodyweight. It has not really affected him as much as people have thought but playing in the NBA full time might show this weakness in the form of Ajinca being pushed around, and boxed out on a regular basis. Ajinca is still pretty raw, but has been working very hard and does not show the signs of keeping that "raw" tag much longer. Ajinca doesn't have the best hands as of yet, and is a bit turnover prone, but he has shown improvement in the last year or two.
