As the NBA’s March 25 trade deadline approaches, reports about the Toronto Raptors and their interest in picking up another big man aren’t slowing down. Considering Raptors fans’ disappointment with Aron Baynes this season, this isn’t a surprise.
Baynes’ rebounding is almost identical to the numbers he put up during his breakout season with the Phoenix Suns, but his shooting percentage has dipped to just 42% despite the fact that most of his shot attempts come either right around the rim or on uncontested jump shots.
