Ajinca's been bulking

http://www.nba.com/pelicans/news/pel...unds-offseason

Good that we're getting everyone putting in work to get better, but kinda sucks that we won't get to see the fruits of that work as much because they won't get much burn.

Good problems to have all in all.

7-2, 275lbs is a very very good place to be. Holy crap.

I needs pics

7'2" and 275 with possibility of going up to around 300?

Dang! Hope he doesn't lose much mobility, but will be nice to help him fight in the paint.

Pics or Ducktales

if he cuts down on the fouls, he should be a valuable asset....

There's a video on the bottom of the link, but you can't see much because he's wearing a baggy shirt. Honestly not sure what an extra 20 pounds looks like on a 7'2 frame, probably actually have some muscle definition instead of skin and bones

hmmmmmm 7'2 275.......NICE

I want to see how that improves his 1 on 1 defense.

Don't think it will. His problem has been quickness and propensity to foul. I don't remember him being pushed around our out-muscled.

At least now when he fouls, the guy will go flying and will most-likely miss out on the And-1.

He displayed 0 strength. I think being 275 will greatly help him. His length alone makes his lack of quickness acceptable for a backup big.

Keep in mind that he said he has put on 20 pounds since the season ended. Meaning, it's not as big a weight gain as some think since players lose a lot of weight over the course of the season.

He'll lose some weight but he won't lose 20 lbs worth. I can't see how adding to his frame is a negative.

Davis lost 12 lbs over the course of last season, iirc.

Didn't say that Ajinca gaining weight was a bad thing, only that it doesn't address his main weaknesses (fouling and slow feet).

Wow some bulk! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/30/yte6yvav.jpg

His leg looks like a child's arm. Funny stuff.

Skinny legs and all
"And don't you worry about a doggone thing at all
Because there's someone, somewhere
Who'll take you baby, skinny legs and all"

I don't even

Not one part of his body looks like it's been put under any tension/resistance in his life.

Can someone explain plz?

It's the Boris Diaw 'aunt arms' syndrome.

compared to the rest of his body, his legs are very-very thin

Dude needs to do some squats.

My Granny-corpse has bigger thighs than him.
