Is Banton a keeper or is he this season's Kevin Knox?

Thanks!

 

Unless there's a hot prospect at #5 who plays a position of need, I'd be more interested in packaging the #5, #13, (any or all of our late picks), and a body, such as Brogdon and/or Thybulle, for an actual player. Probably take a three team trade?

 

I was thinking about something along those lines, but was struggling with who the wing target could/should be. Someone like Jaylen Brown, if Boston wanted to shed salary, but outside of a colossal flameout by them, can't see them wanting to break it up just yet. Zion? Mikal? Markannen?

 

Yeah, what I'd like and what might be possible might not match. Like usual.

 

What looks like the blazers trying to get longer and banton fits that bill. One or two these players might not be on this team next year Grant Simons and brogdon.

 

Banton looking like a poor man's Spencer Dinwiddie.

 

I've watched a couple of Remix games with Knox and being compared to him is not a bad thing. The guy can flat out hoop and has a nose for the basket. I love having the Remix be our G league team. It's working really well keeping our 3rd stringers in game shape and developing our younger talent. Banton and Knox are both a good problem to have either way. I don't think comparing Banton to Knox is a knock on Banton at all.

 

Banton now shooting 39.7% from 3 land, last 3 games have been really good

 

Unfortunately his 44.0% from 2 isn't so good.

 

Banton is a wild dribbler like the gangly Will Barton. Am I the only one who noticed that as soon as Barton was kicked out of the NBA, Banton appeared? Everyone else is falling for the 1-letter change?

 

Could be worse, like Scoot’s 41%.

 

worse?

504 Alec Burks .374
508 Wesley Matthews .357
510 Nick Smith Jr. .345
515 Rayan Rupert .314
518 Keon Johnson .300
521 Dāvis Bertāns .267
545 Ryan Arcidiacono .000

 

You are awars the all-time a

Are you aware that the avg FG% (all-time) for an SG is 44% and a PG is 43.4%? seems like Banton is right at that average

 

I didn’t say Scoot was in the bottom tier of 2 pt shooters; just that he’s worse than Banton.

 

Unless I am reading the link below wrong is 2pt FG% this year so far is 44.9%, that includes Bos and Portland.

I mean the odds are stacked against him being a real contributor on a winning team. If Boston gave him away like that it says a lot to me. They KNOW talent. I hope he defies the odds! Stranger things have happened

 

I had to check but found Barton signed with a Russian team and was sent back for a failed medical and has now signed with a team in Granada Spain for the last stretch of their season.
