10. Aron Baynes, Boston Celtics

Stats: 5.6 PPG, 5.3 RPG 

Aron Baynes is a type of player that Boston Celtics fans should appreciate. Baynes is one of those mean, tough centers that can bully other big men. He’s never going to jump off the screen, but he’s the type of player that you want on your team.

His presence on the floor makes Al Horford‘s job a lot easier, especially with Baynes grabbing rebounds and having a reliable mid-range shot.

His stats don’t jump out,  but he is one of those players that does more than what the box score tells you.
