UNDERDOG
NBA ROLE: BRUISING PIVOT
Aron Baynes, a colossal, Australian pivot, plays a physical brand of ball; 'Aussie-rules' basketball – bone-crunching screens, doesn’t shy away from sending the occasional “message” foul; good midrange scorer, can knock down Js after screening; not very mobile – victim of some posters, though Baynes does well on D by staying vertical & taking charges; decent short hook game, has pop out to the perimeter – recently added 3-pt. range, launches w/o any hesitation if left alone; passes well, complements versatile bigs & floor spacers; discovered by the San Antonio Spurs (who else?) in 2012 – Baynes brings (even more) championship experience & versatility to Toronto’s lineup
