The White Guy Guarding Ajinca Bandwagon

EZ · Post #21 » by EZ » Tue Jun 17, 2008 1:27 pm

I love the thread title.

But seriously, how tall is this guy? Considering Ajinca is 7'1, that cat must be at least 7'6+...

I'm sold...I want "The White Guy Guarding Ajinca" in a Raps uni.

How bad are we? We criticize Babcock and BC for their drafting and then we go and fall for the next tall white guy. Still we can't let the past scare us off. We could be looking at the next Dirk. Dirk already reportedly said in an interview that the white guy guarding Ajinka is already more athletic then he was at whatever age the guy is.

Great thread.....

I also heard that White Guy is being offered a massive endorsement contract for Javex Bleach with Ajinca guard.... supposed to be huge!

I'm surprised the White Guy Guarding Ajinca-haters haven't come out yet saying we shouldn't draft him.

If he's one of those damn Europeans I want nothing to do with him. BC and MG are ruining this team.

If he's not a Euro then I think we should definitely take him with the 17th and possibly even trade up to make sure we get him. I've read nothing but good things about him all over the internet lately.

Jack McCloskey would probably be extremely high on this guy.

Anway, I can confirm one thing, he probably has a unisex name like Alexis/Andrea/Loren/Robin/etc. We seem to like those types of Centers. I'm banking on his name being Fran or Ariel.

Oh no, not another thread devolving into a flame fest between the White Guy Guarding Ajinca Haters and the White Guy Guarding Ajinca fanboys. The mods really have to put a stop to this.

Can't we just agree that there are (a plethora of) good and (probably one or two) bad things about him? Yes he's seven foot six and still growing, but we really don't know his injury history. He could be another perennial IR candidate like LaMarcus Aldridge or Brandon Roy. Thank God BC's crack medical advisors saved us from those guys.

What a surprise.
The board is advocating drafting a guy who is a project and or already at his potential ceiling.

Perfect comic timing.

I can't really take credit for that one. I stole it from half the draft profiles on the web.

And, again!

But seriously, those draft profiles are awesome reading if getting really frustrated at terrible writing can be considered awesome.

Potential ceiling? You see how tall that dude is? He'd probably have to touch his toes every time he walked into a room to avoid bumping his head!!

Man I hate to be the bubble burster on this because this thread is hilarious but "White Guy" is in fact Miroslav Raduljica, a 7'0" C from Serbia.
That pic was taken at a tournament in 2006 when he was 18. He's now 20. In that game between Serbia & France, Raduljica was noted as the hih scorer with 20 and the only real force for Serbia. Ajinca had 15 for France.

That's awesome. This cat literally has ice in his veins. Sign me up! How good is he at taking tests?

Edit: DOH! I thought it said he's from Siberia. Serbia/Siberia what's the diff?!? :oops:

Raduljica is now, officially, no longer under the radar. :tooth

His name is not Radulijca...His name is White Guy Guarding Ajinca!!!

But he likely won't be available to us at 17, we MUST trade TJ to move up in the draft to get this guy!
