lol...now THAT is a good one.
I think Baynes will get much more playing time than many people think. I think Pop is clearly seeing the impact of the schedule on Timmy and this move was a move to take some load off.
I like this kid, he has that tuffness that the Spurs are lacking at his position. I not expecting him to be the savior, but if he can come in and deliver some physical boards and get some putbacks, he has the potential to really help...this year.
If Baynes can give us 5-10min of big, bruising minutes getting good rebounds on both ends he will be an asset. Play him next to Timmy when Splitter rests in the 1st and 3rd
All I want to know is his preference: chocolate or vanilla? Clearly he is still torn on the matter.
Today at our game as a visitor. Only about visa formalities to cross it apart.

I think another key aspect in his development was getting into shape. Not that he wasn't in shape before, but you can see in pictures early in his career to even early as a few years ago he was pretty "chubby" in the cheeks, now he is more toned all around, being in shape probably accelerated his already progressive basketball development.
Granted it could change after everything is official and he can talk about it but:

ARON BAYNES 2012
Let me start by saying i am from Slovenija huge fan of Union Olimpija and i ve seen over 30 games played by my team this year most of them in person. Let me break player profile at DRAFT EXPRES and give u my perception of pply s abilities backed up by some stats:
* Physical presence
TRUE
Arons ability as a powerful big man was dully noticed in Euroleage. Often pushing and carrying best opp. big man out of a paint like its nothing. Loncar,Davis even so called "Baby Shack Shortcanidis" 7th 250lbt Panathinaicos center couldnt muscle im inside.
* Little athleticism to speak of
TRUE AND FALSE
In Euroleague made a more than few power dunk and also posterized opp players. Standing dunk under the rim is standard weapon of choise. However thats is Euroleage in NBA his atletic skills would be most likely consider average at best. * LumberingI trully have no idea what that meens)
* Leaping ability is poor
FALSE
Having achieved 9.8 reb /game he was BEST rebounder in Euroleague and 3rd best in regional ABA leaguu (7.1reb). * Extremely fundamental playerTRUE Scoring and rebounting was never a problem for Aron, but the number of moves in offense is very limited. Posses great hook shot, can dunk on ppl, can score by shooting form close range.. ..and thats about it.
* Excellent touch around the basket
TRUE
When he receve the ball in the paint he cant be stoped.
* Lacks any real creativity with his post moves
TRUE
Same as "fundemental player".
* Holds his position wel
lTRUE
Like said befor he cant be moved inside even by bigger and heavier player.
* Does a good job on the defensive glass
TRUE AND FALSE
Having only 0.5 block per game in Euroleage and 0.9 in ABA league doesnt give a real picture of his inside defense. U have 2 realize that U.Olimpia played in Euro l. against teams who s basic offense is long range shootin (combine 72% live game points).Also never got "owned" by any big man in competision.His biggest problem was collectin lots of personal fouls, at start of a season he had 5 (max in europe) before the end of a game in 7 out of 9 games. Shown great progress on that area.
Aron Baynes is hard working, intelegent player who, under good coaching (Greg would be perfect for him!!!) could develept into a good player.
Some stats for Euroleague regular season:
Ranks #1 : 2-pointers made (54)#1 in Offensive Rebounds (39)#1 in Total Rebounds (98)#3 in Defensive Rebounds (59)#10 in Points (138)#11 in Fouls Drawn
Thanks for the insight.
Thanks a lot for your first hand perspectives Ima! Best information I've seen on him so far, thanks for sharing. I'm most curious to see who he manages his fouling, so it's good to know that he's shown progress on it.
so when does the Aussie arrive?
How long did Pattys visa take?
Hopefully it won't take Pop as long to play Baynes with Duncan as it did for him to play Splitter with Duncan. If that's the case Timmy will be playing in the old timers league before it happens!
10 days.
Did we learn how to expedite the process with Patty?
this is system.. you cant really speed this thinks up.. and its really depends on other side.. (in this case American embassy in Slovenia, Ljubljana)
After Visa he have to pass medical tests.. this can be speed up but isnt standart that medical test is first possible day?
Thanks for that! Oh, and what people say someone is lumbering, it means that they are heavy footed and slow.
Ducks?
Nice stuff, Imakandi
Man.... San Antonio doesn't have true Slovenians but Green and Baynes got to count for 1
I have two colleagues from India, already professionally employed in USA, and their green cards took 4+ years. Guy on the radio said his brother has been waiting 6 years.
I guess pro sports knows how to jump over the multi-year queue.
He needs a work visa, not a green card.
I like Pop being called Greg "Greg would be perfect for him!!"
He's getting a P-1 visa. He only needs to show he has a contract with an NBA team to get it.
A green card is a permanent residency and a completely different story.
