I guess. He shot all of 35 times from outside the paint. I think its more like with Splitter; why wait around for the shots to start falling when he'll get 2/3 of the attempts inside?
You know Pop has a special role for everyone on the team and Baynes is a wide load in the paint when needed and has a pretty nice touch around the basket as well. Go for it Baynes. Second year with the Spurs is the proving ground for what you've learned.

He was more so a C, at least in his second season, because West and Hansbrough were entrenched at PF. Two seasons ago, he briefly overtook Mahinmi as their primary backup C late in the regular season, only to relinquish it at the start of the playoffs.
Even if he was the solid mid range shooter he was advertised as being, he'd have been/would be at best the fourth big. There's nothing he could have done/do to usurp Duncan, Splitter or Diaw.
I consider him a C with the Spurs. He played quite a few of his minutes with Diaw. He did start 10 games at PF (I think, all were with Duncan starting at C)
JUST SIGN HIM! PAY HIM!!!

This is the best news of the offseason, for me..
If he were as good as advertised last summer, I think he would have been the starter next to Tim. The Spurs really struggled with spacing for the Tim/Tiago pairing at the beginning of last season. Having a big who was a knock-down shooter who was also big, strong and athletic would have been an ideal fit. Add in Ayres' passing abilities, and it's almost a shame that he hasn't worked out. I don't think he would have been the higher than the fourth-most important big, but I could definitely have seen him being higher on the depth chart.
I dont know if im misunderstanding but i think some common sense is missing here. Chump said spurs wont offer a guaranteed contract if read in context. You then asked how he knows. Wouldn't obvious answer have been because they have no more contracts to give out???
they could theoretically waive/cut somebody. ayres is the candidate we're all cheering for. he'd get paid every penny but it would clear up a roster spot for somebody who could actually help us unlike errors. we also aren't in danger of hitting the luxury tax so it wouldn't be too crippling. its still unlikely
I'm glad you made a big deal out of my prediction since you agree with it.
good to know i'm still in your thoughts. saying probably not is different than saying "it won't happen" though.
You can't stop talking about me.Eh, so I'm more secure in my prediction than you.saying probably not is different than saying "it won't happen" though.
No big deal.
nor you me. hours after we dropped it, you come right back to quote me.
i didn't make a predictionEh, so I'm more secure in my prediction than you.
No big deal.
You were going on about me again.
Man, you feel you have to back down from even that?i didn't make a prediction
OK. Do what you have to.
This thread is terrible.
on and on? i responded to one comment... and you jumped in
what am i backing down from? i never made a prediction
OK, if that's the story you want to go with.
if you have an alternate explanation i'd love to hear it.
my bad
Neh. You already denied it. No point in gainsaying.
Get a room already, guys. Jesus Christ.
yep, you are ruining threads.
You guys leave Chump alone. He's working hard trying to get to that 100k.
Almost twice the amount of the QO (1.1mil).
