Ari Temkin ‏@arisports (https://twitter.com/arisports) The San Antonio #Spurs (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Spurs&src=hash) have assigned Aron Baynes to the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League. Short stay?

Then there's no reason why you should hate the move. If he can gain some confidence then why not? Good move unless it lasts for more than a couple of games.

I wish they would put De Colo there for the next few weeks or so and call Joseph up. Joseph deserves a shot to show what he has before the playoff rotation is set. De Colo has things he needs to work on, and he doesn't really have the time to do them while playing next to Ginobili. I hate that he gets upset at assignments. It's annoying as hell to see a guy think he's too good to play in the d-league and then scrub it up against second- and third-stringers most of the time.

It's not a bad move. Play him two times in the D-League to get his wind back. He wasn't going to play tonight anyways with Duncan returning to the lineup. Then bring him back for the RRT.

I know this will probably cause a meltdown but to expect Baynes to leapfrog a handful of players to earn a spot in the rotation instantaneously wasn't realistic. He has plenty of time to do so. Again, Nazr didn't get a solid spot in the rotation back in 2005 until April. No rush. Getting him back in shape in the D-League won't hurt anything.

02-01-2013, 12:44 PM

I'm starting to hate these moves (Spurs/Toros back and forth), but he will benefit from this for sure. I mean look at Nando, he looked scared early in the season and he would force passes and his shot wasn't good at all. He spent some time with the Toros , gained confidence, looks a lot better now on the Spurs.

So do you hate the moves or like them? Sort of a conflicting sentence..

Personally, I like the idea; he'll get more burn, and look a little less lost after running our plays with the Toros.

Bummed we (probably) won't see him for the next few games, but if he was the kind of player I'd want to watch then he'd be getting minutes anyway. Short stints in the D-league is perfect for guys like Baynes, to get used to the style of play in the NBA, and to show their teams what they can do so the coaches can make proper use of them.

Bakersfield will be a better test of his NBA-readiness than Charlotte.

I've always thought the NBA should adopt a relegation system to incentivize underperforming clubs. Something like the team that finishes with the lowest winning percentage over 3 years should get demoted to the D-League, and conversely the team with the highest % in the D-League gets bumped up. I get that the NBA isnt structured like fut/soccer which makes that possible, but the thought is nice.

Then again... with the NO Pelicans, new Seattle Sonics, and new Charlotte Hornets maybe iti'll have the same psychological effect for the fan...

ChumpDumper

02-01-2013, 02:28 PM

Brian Butch in Bakersfield will be a nice matchup as he's an OK rebounder of similar size and will test Baynes' perimeter D. The Texas Legends he would play on Tuesday are pretty terrible this season. Melvin Ely is often their best big man.

In the Charlotte game, Baynes was only able to play short stints because he got winded. A couple of D-League games will help him to get his rhythm back. I don't expect this assignment to be a long term one. Baynes should be with the team for the RRT.

This. He wasn't playing the whole time they were negotiating the buyout and working his visa. He's lost his game conditioning.

Any updates? Was the 17'er in the flow of the game or rushed like the shot he took against charlotte(shot clock)...even though, I did say to myself I thought his form looked halfway decent(surprisingly)..I really hope I get to see him play in mn/chi! The mn game would be perfect for him to go out and just play..unless he's not in shape by then. Ultimately he should lead to more rest for Timmy in the regular season, which is always good...and he's an athletically built 7'er..I hope he makes the playoff roster over a Blair or Bonner and yes I am basing that off of limited action ....I can spot talent when I seen it.

Would've been better had his counterpart not had a season-high scoring night and more rebounds than Baynes. To be fair, Butch scored on anyone put on him, but Baynes couldn't guard him for a long stretch because of foul trouble. He seemed noticeably slower as the game went on, so I'll put conditioning as the root of most of his problems tonight.

capek

02-02-2013, 01:18 AM

I'm not really concerned with the defense or rebounding from this game. This was the first D League game I've watched in a while, and I was reminded that at this level its all basically 5 individual players just playing ball. In a team defense setup I think Baynes doesn't have too much work to do. When he's playing with the Spurs I think he'll be able to use his mobility and size to play up to the standards of the team, whereas tonight there was absolutely no team defense. But I was very impressed by his shot. He has good form and a quick release. He was very good scoring around the bucket--he muscled up quite a few layups and put backs when there were multiple guys on him. You could tell he needs work on his conditioning. He looked pretty good in this game, but still has a ways to go to get into NBA game shape, so this trip to the D League was obviously a good choice.

If nothing else it shows that Baynes is no scrub. He's a legit NBA player, and once he gets his conditioning up and has some more practice time with the Spurs, I firmly believe he will be a contributing role player this season. And that's not just because I'm halfway through a bottle of wine tonight. In the sober light of day I think he will add a lot to the club this season (in the role of a back up 5).

Tbh they should trade Tiago and do the 3 big men rotation with Aaron. The rebounding would improve a lot, the scoring could take a hit at first but Aaron's range could help TP get some space in the long run.

That way they get something for Splitter instead of letting him walk or overpaying for him.

TJastal

02-02-2013, 05:48 AM

tonight Baynes would set a screen and then back pedal into the paint, got called on moving screen for one of them.

IMO he also got called for a phantom foul when an opposing guard tried to back into him and push him out of the paint (because he was pulling down O-rebounds with practically no effort) and Baynes sidestepped and that little fuck fell backward on his ass and got bailed out by a ref. Dumb announcers thought it was a foul on Baynes; I didn't.

One thing is for sure, he is BIG and he is VERY talented for the size he is.

I looked up Aron Bayne's game logs with Union Olimpija, the last time he played with them was Dec. 13th which is more than 1 1/2 months ago. He's a bit out of basketball shape, and I'm sure he's adjusting to the speed of the game as well which would explain his lackluster defense and rebounding.

Darkwaters

02-02-2013, 10:35 AM

Good game for Aron. He has strong arms and in many episodes just pushed opponents away. And he's got a jumper! The second man in the spurs among bigmen after Timmy who can shoot midrange. Oh, Boris sometimes can but it is really rare event.

Ummm, Boris is among our best jump shooting bigmen. The guy is a converted combo guard for crying out loud. His problem has never been making the shots he takes, it's been getting him to pull the trigger. He routinely shoots a pretty decent percentage.

Too much faith in a dleague scrub...

The D league scrub looks tougher both physically and mentally than Splitter and rebounds a lot better. I wouldn't bet a playoff run on Splitter if I don't have to but that's just me (same thing with Green). Splitter does pass the ball a lot better, so if Aaron took Splitter's starting spot, they would probably have to start Manu or something to add some playmaking.

So do you think it's enough to make Splitter expendable? Trade his ass because it won't make any difference in the team, because now we have the super scrub?

I think the rebounding would get a lot better, so yeah I think it would make a difference... Tiago is awesome at playing the PnR but he's the fifth option on the starting 5 and is not always used as he should on the second unit because of the terrible backup PG situation, so I don't think the offense would take a big hit. I'd say it'd be intriguing at least. Also he has range, real range unlike Ben Wallace and Splitter who are said to hit 3s in practice like anybody gives a fuck, it's a big deal imo, I don't believe the guys would shit the bed if the opposite team tried to hack him...

I like Splitter starting and having Baynes come in with the second unit...:)

The only thing left is for Pop to make up his mind on backup PG...

I don't know why so much fuss over this guy. I guess when your the Spurs and don't make moves this is all they have. He won't play enough to make any type of difference.

Maybe its because he adds something to the mix that was missing...size and toughness. There are matchups out there, particularly OKC, where he can be very valuable. I think you're dead wrong, he will play minutes that matter, and will you'll see those minutes against the likes of Serge Ibaka and Nick Collison. It's another piece in a game of matchups.

Spurs have recalled him, probably since Timmy will miss a few games.

The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have recalled center Aron Baynes from the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League.
Baynes appeared in two games for the Toros after being assigned to Austin on Feb. 1. He averaged 18.0 points and 9.0 rebounds in 27.5 minutes in his first D-League assignment.
