what else?
good rotations in team defense.
Omfg im just seeing the highlights of the Toros. If he can do that against NBA's second unit, why is Blair an Bonner getting more burn this this monster energy machine? Dammmn thats one bad ass white boy. I mean shiiiiiit!!! Block's, putbacks, dunks. What else do Pop want from the guy. Am I missing something abiut this guy or what? You cant tell me this guy aint good enough to get burn in the NBA.

good rotations in team defense.
Wow, they need to just throw Baynes out there some more and see what he can do, we already know what Bonner Blair will give us
That aint much. Watch us get out rebounded tonight with feather weigjt ass Bonner an short ass Blair.
Yeah I don't get it and Blair and Bonner both will be gone either next year or very soon
Agreed, Pop is just too conservative and has no sense of urgency whatsoever. We have rebouding issue and we manage to get Baynes mid season and he does nothing with it, like everyone knew he would. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
On Spurs.com, there's a new Pop mailbag : http://www.nba.com/spurs/features/130327_pop_mailbag

Question: What are your thoughts on Aron Baynes? What do you expect him to contribute this year?
GP: We just expect him to start to learn the system. It’s tough to come in late in the season with what we do and know exactly how to operate, so, he’s just getting used to both the NBA and our system.
Doesn't sound good.
When we signed him I was soooo hyped about watching Spurs gms. As time past I've grown sick an tired of watching tbe the combos of Blair an Diaw, Blair an Bonner or Bonner an Diaw. The aint motivation at all. Especially when we got a problem solver sitting on our bench. even if he isn't, give the man a ing shot to see if he is. I try to believe its a method to Pops madness but people on here love to speak of pass rings. Not lately Pop, not lately. Insain is to keep trying the samething over an over expecting new results. Well call Pop Insain
No way Pop puts him in the rotation unless a catastrophe.
Spurs are a well oiled machine. You don't put a new part in unless it goes through rigorous certifications and testing and stress tests. Plus Baynes is far from mentally ready for a playofff atmosphere.
An Blair, Bonner, Green, Tiago is?
Blair won't be seeing any time either. But he knows the system more than Baynes.
IMO Tiago and Green are as ready as they'll ever be. Same with Bonner, plus Bonner stretches the floor something no ther big does, specialized weapon, like a grenadier.
exactly baynes could get blair minutes and play just fine. now is the time to integrate him with the team. a physical 6'11" guy with diaw or bonner on the second unit would be great.
Where's this myth that Baynes doesn't know the system come from? I haven't seen every minute of his play, but I haven't seen him out of position on either offense or defense. , Francisco Elson was out of position half the time and he still managed to contribute. If Blair's knowledge of the system hasn't helped him to prevent his opponents from putting up MVP-level stats against him, perhaps it's time to have someone who's capable of playing an NBA center spot to do it and let him learn.
it's no myth. Pop, the players and analysts have mentioned over the years. It takes months or years to learn Spurs system to Pop's liking. All new spurs go through that.
Blair knows the system, so does Bonner. Knowing the system doesn't mean that you will not make mistakes, or instantly become a good NBA player. But it's step 1 in Pop's book.
yeah this whole learn the system thing is ridiculous. they ran a very very similar system on the australian national team and he has been with the spurs for about 2 months now. give me a break with this. throw the kid out there for 3-4 minute spurts and let him go.
Gregg Popovich: We just expect him to start to learn the system. It’s tough to come in late in the season with what we do and know exactly how to operate, so, he’s just getting used to both the NBA and our system.
It might be ridiculous to you but it's made the Spurs the most successful franchise in sports.
It's a mystery. It's like the "system" has developed a life of it's own, external from Pop. It's the "system" that chooses if a player plays or not, more than it's Pop's choice or based upon the needs of the team. If a player's not around to go through training camp, the "system" doesn't consider him worthy to step on the floor outside of garbage time. So we bring over a guy who was averaging a double double in Euroleague, who plays the same position as two guys who make the team worse when they're on the court, but he doesn't meet the requirements of the "system," so he won't be played this season. Maddening.
*blue font* you have an agenda. Four rings fa**ot
:facepalm

Again, Dejuan Blair knows the system and he stinks on ice. Matt Bonner couldn't have more time in the system and he still sucks as a center.
It might be ridiculous to you but this whole "system" thing has made the Spurs the laughingstock of playoff basketball the last six years.
At some point, starting starters, letting reserves come off the bench, playing bigs at the big positions, and having point guards running point is a better system than anything else out there, particularly when you can't just load everything up on the back of your aging-GOAT power forward.
Got a link, or are you talking out of your ass again?
you still don't get it. Baynes could be the next coming of Hakeem but he won't get in unless he learns the system. You might disagree, but again Spurs under Pop System are the most winning franchise in the last few years.
making the WCF last year is far from laughingstock. Pop is a genius but no miracle worker.It might be ridiculous to you but this whole "system" thing has made the Spurs the laughingstock of playoff basketball the last six years.
besides, nothing that I've seen from Baynes in Spurs tells me that he is ready for NBA primetime. Yeah he dominates in the NBDL, so would Bonner and Blair
and nothing Blair or Bonner has ever done has shown they are ready for the primetime. but to keep trying something over and over with the same results is just stupid. Give the guy some freaking minutes already. I love Pop and what he has done for this franchise, but he really needs to get over himself.
