    Glad they're blowing us out of the water... Can't believe the Hornets dropped to the Wiz.

    H'Stroh with the Banton knowledge.

    His per/36 with the Blazers is 20 pts, 7 rebs and 4 assists. Only 14 players in the league have that type of production or better.

    Top-55 protected pick and the Celtics paid us $3M. Not bad...

    on like 50% true shooting, so it’s missing context

    but yeah, he’s like all our other wings. Does some things well, other things not well. Not consistent enough to be a must keep

    27 shots for dalano.

    this is just making a mockery of the game at this point.

    True....the other missing context is he is the cheapest contract of those 14 so his production per $$ is impressive.

    More points than shots. How many times over the years did we see Dame, CJ or Ant jack up tons of shots to get their points.....all making WAAAAY more money. Sometimes it happens.

    did you really just compare dalano banton chucking his way to 30 points in a glorified summer league game to dame?

    All those great metrics and only one of them mattered to the Blazers when the trade was made!

    Tanking is literally the only way for us to improve.

    Kind of purposely though. Rockets are still technically in the playoff hunt

    yeah, it's a terribly small sample size for Banton and he does have an intriguing blend of length and ball-handling. But he has been chucking up a storm with low efficiency. He's 2nd on the team behind Ant in FGA/36 and FGA/100-p0ssessions, but 12th in TS%. He should be passing more and shooting less

    as far as a Dame vs Banton chucking gauge: this year, for Portland, Banton is averaging 1.14 points/shot. Last season, Dame averaged 1.55 points/shot

    If it’s a SL game without our SL starters why does it matter who gets the shots up. Blanton’s young enough to where you don’t really know what you got yet
