Bobcats Sign Augustin, Ajinca

POSTED: 3:45 pm EDT July 8, 2008

(Sports Network) - The Charlotte Bobcats signed both of their first round draft picks, guard D.J. Augustin and big man Alexis Ajinca, on Tuesday.

The Bobcats selected Augustin and Ajinca with the ninth and 20th picks, respectively, in the 2008 NBA Draft, and both players are scheduled to take part in the NBA Summer League from July 11-20 in Las Vegas.

An early-entry candidate in the this year's draft, Augustin played two seasons at the University of Texas, where he averaged 16.9 points and 6.2 assists in 73 games, and was named the Bob Cousy Award winner as the nation's top point guard in 2007-08.

A seven-foot center, Ajinca spent the last two seasons playing professionally in his native France. He made his professional debut in 2006-07 with Pau-Orthez of the French ProA League before moving to Hyeres-Toulon in 2007-08. He averaged 5.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game in 24 games played for Hyeres-Toulon last season.
