Yes, but still fairly athletic. I guess it doesn't matter all that much now...
I think Draft Express clocked it at 32 inches. Not bad at all. He missed 5 dunks in a game against the Wizards and its becoming about of his narrative?

I agree. Diaw to start and go small off the bench with Splitter. Splitter could still log 25 mpg playing behind Duncan and playing along side of him, Leonard could play most of the backup minutes with Bonner or Ayers getting less than 10 minutes in certain games. We need Leonard to get going against opposing second units. He seems to struggle with Parker on the floor (him being aggressive off the dribble).
Duncan 28 mpg
Diaw-28 mpg
Splitter -25
Leonard + Bonner/ Ayers-15 mpg
I'd be in favor of getting Al Aminu. He is on a 1 year deal (I believe for 6 million) He is technically a wing but plays more like a PF. Long, Athletic and boards very well. Maybe Chip can make him into a respectable 3pt shooter. The problem is that they'd want a big and Baynes, Bonner or Ayers likely won't cut it.
This ^^^^
Every one of the top 8-9 players in the rotation simply needs to play better. The only player of the relevant bunch playing better than last year is Diaw.
Once that happens, we will forget about the POS acquisition,tbh.
Ayres is a slightly slower Francisco Elson without the scoring.
No wonder Pop loves him.
I guess his name change didn't help like he wanted it too.
Why can't baynes get a real chance. At least he is goes up strong under the rim.
Since Malcolm is a D-League player I'm not expecting much but I'm still in favor of them trying out players.
Tiago being hurt actually accentuates his (and Bonner) minutes... but, this if there's a time in the season for Pop to play him and see what he has, this is it, tbh...
Think you're giving Ayres too much credit.
, I'd take Shawnelle Scott or Cherokee Parks right about now.
Fair enough. Ayres is a slower Francisco Elson without the scoring or b-ball IQ (for what it was).
Add butterfingers.
Done with Ayres tbh. He flat out sucks.
Ayres has no BB IQ, why is he on the team? Is one of pop pet projects? cant do even a ing layup, Baynes is another brainfart, where is his 65% FG?
Ayres can't dunk, can't do gimme lay ups, basically Ayres can't do what big men are supposed to do. Ayres is big for no reason.
Clueless s blaming Jeff Ayres because he's bad at basketball. RC signed him using MLE money, having no corporate knowledge of him whatsoever. He signed purely on blind faith. Pop continues to play him regardless.yet, somhow it's Ayres fault. Why do you think this was Indiana's sixth big?
Ayres fits Pops' system seamlessly in my opinion. He sets great picks, and knows when to expect the ball. It's his inability to complete wide open lay ups and dunks that makes him look like a scrub out there.
Looks like??? No, that's what makes him a scrub. Just because a player fits the system doesn't make him good.
...sucks.
wasting the MLE on this failure
Even though he's an ASU product I just can't defend him. Guy is not an NBA caliber player.
I cut the game off once that fool missed that chipy layup! We gave up Blair for this trash
Worst part is we're stuck with him and his contract. No one wants that worthless POS.
Unfortunately, many of us who watch the NBA regularly outside of the Spurs and saw him play knew this was a huge possibility. It's why many of us were dumbfounded when the Spurs wasted any opportunity to add to the team via cap space for a player of his caliber. Didn't make sense then, definitely doesn't make sense now. Seems like Boylen should be blamed for talking this guy up.
Agreed.
It's perfectly acceptable to have 1-3 ty players on the team. However, the catch is, you don't actually play them in big games.
