2008 Draft Profile - Alexis Ajinca

Still a year or two from an NBA game, as he needs to add weight. An unbelievable wingspan of 7'9, giving him the ability to alter and block shots. He also has high release on his shot which extends to 3 point range. Has good passing skills for a center.He needs to avoid foul trouble, and improve on post moves as well as 1 on 1 defense. Could be a special kind of player.
Draft Profile provided by: Nicolas Jutigny

Did very well in the U-19 tournament last year, which included players future NBA prospects like Michael Beasley, Nicolas Batum, Stephen Curry, Donte Greene and DeAndre Jordan. Needs to bulk up, but has the athleticism, intelligence and shooting touch to make it into the NBA. His body reminds you of Ralph Sampson, and so is his game. This 7-footer can shoot from long distance and can put the ball on the floor and drive for the dunk. Excellent and willing passer from the high post. Very good shotblocker with those long arms and jumping ability. Doesn't have an effective post up game.
