New Orleans Pelicans Center Alexis Ajinca has work to do this upcoming season.
While he’s pretty much a lock for a roster spot, his play will need to improve greatly for him to be in the long term future of this team.
The Pelicans have gone through a huge identity change this offseason and that change completely counteracts Ajinca’s skill set.
Defense is now high priority for every player in New Orleans. Not just defense, but the ability to be adaptable on the defensive end. Many of the new signings can guard multiple positions on the floor if needed.
