What do you think Alexis Ajinca will be like 2 seasons from now?

[ziggy]

If we can lock this guy in a weight room 12 hours a day and have him learn under one of the greatest coaches in basketball history the other 12 ( who needs sleep ) What can Alexis become?
I remember Dwight Howard's rookie year he didn't have the NBA body that he has now and at times he looked lost out on the court, but two seasons later, everyone in the NBA knew that he was going to be unstoppable. I'm not saying that Alexis will become another Dwight, but with his length, athleticism and range he still could become pretty damned good.

What will he be 2 years from now?

He really needs some muscle mass...20-25 lbs at least...but I can see him as a Pau Gasol type player...better athletically....solid numbers...he seems to be a good kid willing to work and he is lucky to have a great coach willing to teach him...that's my take Ziggy...and Ziggy I hate being a player we no longer have on the team...thought you were going to change them?

I can only hope he turns into a Dwight type player, as you said, he has all the intangibles there. I believe by year 3 he'll be a player every team has to worry about.

brad sellers with better defense and rebounding.

he needs a stint in the d-league to develope a scoring mentality. he's never been the go-to guy on a team, always a young project who doesnt get shots. plus it will teach him how to stay out of foul trouble.

I 2nd that, LB see's something special in this guy that is why he pushed so hard to get him in the draft. Give it some time guys and you all will see. Have the faith....

I think he'll be a Mouhamed Sene or Ian Mahinmi, literally nothing. He'll be a 6 foul against dominant big men. He'd be yet another athletic and low BBIQ big. There is no way he could be like Dwight Howard or KG. I remember Pau Gasol when he was 20 and I assure you that Ajinça is absolutely not tiptoing around being a Gasol.

But, did somebody say range? Oh, Nikoloz Tskitishvili had a better range and you all remember how he ended up in the NBA.

I'm afraid our 20th pick will end up being wasted.

[dnbman]

I think he'll end up being a poor man's Dirk with less ability to score in crucial situations, but more block shots.

Brad Sellers? Wow, he was horrible.
