Prospect Scouting Report: Melvin Ajinça

Charlotte Hornets fans will be familiar with that last name. The then Charlotte Bobcats selected Alexis Ajinça with the 20th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft because of his “potential” before people really understood what that word means. That Ajinça never panned out in Charlotte, but the Hornets could try to take another bite at that apple by selecting his younger cousin Melvin Ajinça.
