8pts

0/2 3p
2/2 FT (Now shooting .917!)
6 Reb (4off)
3 PF
3 TO
4 bs

More hit or miss for Lex, I'm curious to know if anybody saw the game.

[BigSlam]

I didn't see the game (hopefully NBA TV will replay it later in the week and I'll catch it then) but the 6 boards and 4 blocks look good for only 20 mins of play.

And "only" 3 fouls.

[BigSlam]

Bad night for the big unit.

17:46
7pts
2/7 FG
0/1 3p
3/4 FT
4 Reb (1off)
6 PF
3 TO

eek

[e4Nf6]

He also got T'd up. It would appear our Lexy has some fight in him.

I should mention he was one of 7 (!) players to get a technical in the 4th quarter of that game.

[Bassman]

Still needs a lot of work, so project is still the operative word with Jinx. Remember he's competing at D-league and struggling in many games. That is part of the learning process, but struggles here do not translate into success in the NBA at any level.

I hope he turns out to be a solid player for us.

Bass, you haven't watched a single second of his dleague game footage, right?

Walt, I've only watched a small portion, and admitedly it was not a good performance. I don't pretend to be an expert on Ajinca, and many of you see far more than I have. I'm pulling for the guy, believe me, cause we need production from a mobile big man badly.

[e4Nf6]

"Struggling" isn't really accurate to me. Like most young players he is inconsistent and has some holes in his game. "Struggling" to me means Morrison style or Brezec Style play, not doing a single thing right.

There are some things he has been doing very well...

Good
Shot blocking/Steals
Rebounding
Free throw shooting

Hit-or Miss
Effieciency
Scoring

Bad
Defense
Fouling
Turnovers

[e4Nf6]

Big game from Jinx tonight...

15 rebs in 27 minutes is great, even for the D-league.

[BigSlam]

Thanks e4.

The 13 fta's really stick out. Shows he was aggressive in the paint/trying to score. Only having the 2 pf's is also a huge plus.

6 of his 15 boards were offensive. Me likey that a lot.

I really think we are onto something with him.

[Dexmor]

I think he will eventually get cut from the D league. Isn't he in danger of getting cut from his olympic team? Bigslam that would be denial there. Your to smart to think Alexa is a good player.

I'm smart enough to know that he is a very young kid with little experience with a very unique skill set considering his size who is a total project and I don't expect to see anything too much from for the next 2 or 3 years.

If we don't seem some improvement in his body/ability to stay out of fouls over the next 2 years I'll start asking questions, but until then I am more than willing to let him learn and stay off his back until then.
