Jeff Ayres

Jeff Ayres is heading into his fifth season in the NBA. Last season was his first in San Antonio, and he averaged 3.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game in 13 minutes per game through 73 games. He shot 58 percent from the field on 2.4 attempts per game and 69 percent from the line on 0.8 attempts per game. Ayres started a career high 10 games in 2013-14 and has proven himself as an adept per-minute rebounder through his career in the NBA. He averaged 9.8 rebounds per 36 minutes last season after averaging over double digits in the two previous seasons, when he was a member of the Indiana Pacers. The big man from Arizona State is strictly a post player, taking 64 percent of his shots from within three feet of the rim last season, and his fantasy value is limited to the deepest of leagues. If you need rebounds, although he only recorded double-digit boards twice last season, Ayres could be of use if the Spurs' frontcourt were to suffer injuries. Aron Baynes may decide not to re-sign with San Antonio, which would likely give Ayres more court time this season, but in general, he's stuck at the bottom of the depth chart.
