alongside those already mentioned, Aron Baynes is also newly eligible. I just did some research and this is truly a sorry class of newly eligibles, but there's a lot of first ballot folks coming down the pike in the next couple of years
(please do not think i am associating Aron Baynes with the adjective sorry, he ruled and was an extremely likeable, nay beloved role player in his celtics stint)
