He's the same player he's always been. The last 3 years for the Pels his per 36 is 14.6/11.1/1.7 with an average PER of 16.1. Those 183 games are much more representative of who he is than the 6.8/10.1/0 with a PER of 0.7 we've seen in all of 3 games and 32 minutes. Ajinca is a backup big with a decent rebound rate that can score and space the floor a bit with his jumper. That does have some value in the league. I know these first 6 games have been a disaster, but it's still just 6 games.

I really hope he can turn it around, but he looks like he doesn't give a shite out there. Either BBS or TBW twittered a video of his defense on a fast break and it was an embarrassment. I know that he's never been a good defender, but he needs to put forth an effort. If AD is going to start getting more minutes at the 5, prime Ajinca on a fairly cheap contract is a solid backup big if you can effectively use that ~$10m difference between he and Asik on a stud 3 or 4. I don't think we can effectively use that extra money, though, with our being FAR from a FA destination. I would just dump him and keep the better-than-ever as a Pel Asik to help defend the Boogies of the world.
