It’s been over a year since I made Alexis Ajinca highlights. And it’s not like I was constantly passing up primo opportunities to showcase him; no, he’s been missing-in-action for pretty much the whole season. A few 10 or 12 point games, but that’s it.
You’d think that on a team that has to START known meat-blob Omer Asik, that Ajinca would get enough minutes and touches to put up some good stats. But no. Who cares if he’s a foul machine with no stamina? He gets buckets. Sometimes. If Anthony Davis is out.
I think that was the scenario last year when he was beasting: Davis out = Ajinca buckets. Since Davis and Ajinca are basically the same player, you can plug one in for the other with little difference in production. Roughly.
