Just for shits and giggles here are the LNB A Pro stats from last season for
Risacher (#1 pick) 10.1 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 51/35/74
Salaun (#6 pick) 9.0 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 43/33/77
Ajinca (#51 pick) 9.3 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 51/31/80
That´s the base of operations for three players that are the same age. If Ajinca develops his jumpshot the best, he could easily become the best of these three. He also has some leadership experience and accolades from the LNB B Pro and the successful French Under 18/19 teams.
He´s incredibly raw right now. I would be very surprised, but not shocked, if he became a better player than Risacher or Salaun.
I genuinely love how you always have at least a little blurb for the most obscure guys.
