The Toronto Raptors might have lost two big personalities in Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka, but their newest signing seems like a great new addition to the team.

The Raptors signed Aron Baynes to a two-year, $14.3 million deal on Sunday, according to ESPN, after he played for the Phoenix Suns last year.

Baynes is an Australian basketball player, and both he and his family look like they have plenty of Aussie charm between them all.

If you look through his Instagram, you'll notice that Baynes is definitely a Marvel geek, and it looks like his whole family is too!

Baynes posts photos of his kids regularly, in which his 6'10 height is even more drastically visible.

He doesn't hold back when playing with his son, putting his NBA skills to good use in water balloon fights.

Even when he was in the NBA's bubble, he still had his children with him in the form of a custom-made (aka toddler-scribbled) t-shirt.

He's a family man, passionate about social justice and anti-racism, and looks quite a bit like a lumberjack — so he's practically Canadian already.
