ANALYSIS
The No. 51 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Ajinca was selected by the Wizards, then had his rights traded to the Knicks and finally the Mavericks later on during draft day. Ajinca joined the Mavericks for the Las Vegas Summer League and averaged 7.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per contest over five appearances. The 20-year-old wing will remain overseas for at least one more season before potentially making the leap to the NBA in 2025-26.
