When the Toronto Raptors had to watch Marc Gasol become a Laker and Serge Ibaka put on Clippers colors, signing Australian big man Aron Baynes seemed like a perfect signing. Fresh of averaging 11.5 points per game, almost twice his previous career-high, with the Phoenix Suns, Baynes looked like a perfect center for a team that values post play and interior scoring.

The 34-year-old Australian and his wacky fan could’ve become a cult hero in Toronto, but he has really struggled on the offensive side of the ball.
