Im expecting massive improvement from Baynes. I expect him to be the best big in Summer League, the best big off the bench during the season. very excited to have him.
Do you think Baynes is ready to give a solid 15 minutes off the bench?
This will be a key factor for the Spurs decide what to do with Tiago
If Baynes can be a solid backup for Timmy I'd like to see Spurs go hard after Millsap.
Timmy/Millsap starting and Baynes/Boris off the bench would be a solid rotation

Hope he'll be an upgrade of Spliter... He can shoot outside, rebound and defend center position. Need to polish skills and learn spurs system.... Aside from kawhi, he's one i am excited about next season...
Loved what I saw from him against Lakers
After what he did to Howard, I do sort of wish Pop played him as our 4th big in the playoffs. He's the biggest guy on the team; I think he could turn out to be a very nice player for us.
I think he is ready, or at least will be when the season begins.
As somebody already said, I think he might be the best big man in the summer league. He is really strong, with 260 lbs, but also very athletic big. I hope Pop gives him a chance.
I vote that unless Splitter comes back cheap, we let him go, and sign Millsap. That gives us a solid group of bigs in Duncan, Diaw, Baynes, Millsap, and Bonner (Bonner is fantastic as a 5th big).
Man, I'd bet my azz Baynes would average more rebounds in 20 minutes of action in the playoffs than Tiago did. 3 rebounds in 20 minutes is simply awful for a 7-footer.
Baynes will exceed expectations. His is everything you want from a physical center. I think where people will be most surpised is how good he is with his mid-range jumper. He just needs the minutes. I have been a Splitter fan in the past, but I am convinced that Baynes has a better upside.
Don't you wish Kawhi had a 7-footer older brother?
Kawhi at 7 foot OMG! That would be close to David Robinson.
Baynes is going to tear it up once he becomes comfortable with the Spurs system.. Tiago sucked as a backup and is way too soft.
Again. Why does everyone keep insisting on Paul Millsap? The guy is a fuc*ing midget. He will win us some regular season games but come playoff time, if we run into a big team like the Clippers, Lakers, Grizzlies, or Nuggets, then the Spurs will pay the consequences of having an undersized big man. Then Millsap will be on the trading block or in Pop's dog house the following year because Pop hates undersized big men. Just ask Malik Rose and Dejuan Blair.
Yes to the original question. I think Baynes deserves an opportunity.
Oh really? Why is Diaw working out so well for us then? Millsap is actually bigger than Diaw, and he puts up respectable numbers. Diaw and Millsap would be solid as our 2 PF's with Duncan and Baynes playing as our Centers. Of course, this all depends on if Baynes pans out to be a solid back-up center. I think he definitely can, if the Lakers series is any indication...
The Lakers won't make the playoffs unless they secure another lopsided trade. The Nuggets really aren't anything special (McGee dumb as a rock, the rest are underwhelming). The Grizz are about to take a step back next season before really getting better, and by then the Spurs won't be contenders. I'll give you the Clippers if they acquire KG and PP and a better coach. Millsap may actually be the perfect fit in the Spurs' system and allows Tim to move to C full time.
I know that Baynes can fight and have balls - however that is not enough.
His minutes will depend on how good will he learn Spurs' defensive system - I hope he has as much brain as he has courage.
People were saying a lot of the same things about Ian Mahinmi. You can't let Splitter walk and just hope that Baynes pans out imo.
That's why I asked if Baynes is ready. If he is he'll be the big with Timmy on those situations
In the practice interview videos and shoot arounds Baynes showed to have a very nice jumper. even has some moves off the dribble for a big man
If he has a good summer league and training camp I don't see why not.
Showed many tools. With no Blair and possibly Bonner, he'll have a chance.
I hope so! Not only would it be good for the team, but it would give Tim Duncan some good minutes of needed rest. First step is learning the system and second will be getting some moves to finish near the rim. I'm excited!
I am looking forward to seeing if he can be the spurs best player in summer league this year. I remember how excited I was last year watching Leonard dominate in summer league last year.
this is not true at all. I live in utah and have seen milsap up close for his whole career. he is not worth getting and he is not bigger than diaw. milsap is only 6'7". having diaw already is good enough for undersized PF's. plus milsap is going to be looking for a good sized contract. You really need to get off milsap, he is not what you think he is. infact if you want a player like him, we could go taller and younger in earl clark. clark would also be a lot cheaper as well.
i expect him to dominate summer league like leonard last season. hopefully, they'll pull him early. to get a better look at somebody less dominant.
Thanksfor backing up my point.
