    Ajinca's been bulking

    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.

    Also, that's how octopi talk. They squibber. Yes, it's a word. Shut up.

    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.

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

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    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

    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).

    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
