He does play on one of the better teams in the top French league, but he's been no better than 8th-9th man with fairly mediocre stats. Nothing stands out in a good way.
Here is his team's stat page - it has tabs for each of the 2 leagues.

If you root around the data, you can see all the teams and players listed with their stats, and there are fringe and ex- NBA players in that league, who are apparently far better than he is. I suspect there are players in that league who might be useful. But he's not showing anything special there at all.
He might have had no shot at the main roster (15-man) but he certainly had a shot at the 2-way slot if he had a big enough summer league, which would mean he have "made" the league.
And I was hoping Ajinca had a little something to root for because doing so would've naturally made OMax expendable (even more so than he already is).
We're working around the very fringes of the roster anyhow when talking about the likes of Ajinca/OMax/last 2-way slot.
