2014-15 Player Reviews: Alexis Ajinca proves to be an efficient European

When looking through the Per 36 minutes lens, Alexis Ajinca's second season in New Orleans saw him average career-highs across the board. Ajinca was a solid 4th rotational big for the Pelicans. He cut down on the fouls, and even though his minutes per game dropped a bit, he had a much better season. So much so, many feel Dell Demps will be priced out of being able to bring back the Frenchman in 2015-16 thanks to the team's salary cap situation.

Ajinca was a much more consistent performer as witnessed by the increases in his PER, rebounding percentages, assist % and drops in foul rate and turnover %.
