Ajinca up to 275

“At the end of the season, I was 255 pounds,” Ajinca said. “Now I’m 275. I think I’ve gained good weight, so hopefully that’s going to help me out in the paint. (The bulk was a result) of just taking care of (my) body, eating well, protein shakes, lifting weights every day. It went well and I enjoyed it. Maybe I have to do it one more year (in summer 2015).”
...“I tested it a little bit and it felt good,” Ajinca said of playing recent pickup games at 275. “I can’t wait to have the whole team (in New Orleans), so I can see exactly where I will be on this team, because I think we have a good chance for a great season.”

255 was plenty big enough last year, but didn't play like it. He's a finesse shooter in the body of a big. He needs to change his whole playing style.

now he can foul even harder

Yeah, he needs to foul less which is more about footwork and IQ, not bulk. I think the thing that is most exciting about this news is that he's working so hard to improve.

I thought Ajinca played OK last year. He did get pushed around a good bit down low and had to resort to fouling. I think the added bulk will help in that regard but most of his fouls came on just bad timing and instincts.
