    Raptor fan here. You guys just got a real diamond in the rough in Banton. 3:44 Was injured lots last year. For a tall guy he’s deceptively fast on the break and a good ball handler, great finisher at the rim, smart cutter, great creative passer with either hand. Good long defender. Check out his one start last season at pg. The kid was awesome, put short handed Raptors on his back drained 6 FT’s at the end and we finally were able to beat Detroit. He never got a fair shake with Nick Nurse / Fred VV bromance. Boston acquired a Gem, a real good teammate, all around good young man.

      Yeah I've seen all his highlights I've been washing them throughout the day and he seems to be super athletic a great I will I won't say a great defender but he seems pretty damn good on defense he just needs more minutes to work on his shooting and Boston has very great development with young players we have a proven track record throughout the history of basketball he'll definitely be a very good rotational piece

      @@christiangalllietmo1528 He needs better decision making. I think it will come. The honeymoon is over now and I’m sure he’s putting lots of work in. Banton was one of those guys who was almost too good for G league but not clinical enough for major minutes in the NBA. With FVV, and technically Flynn ahead of him with Dowtin Jr who didn’t play much but we resigned becaus frankly he outplayed Banton in their limited minutes battle.
      He can be good.

    The last 3 playoff games the Celtics won have dictated their offseason
    They came back from a 0-3 deficit to force a Game 7 by changing their defensive philosophy of forcing turnovers, using their athleticism, and getting easy buckets in the fast break
    Their acquisitions of Walsh, Brissett, and Banton are evidence of that

    He’s probably a year or two away from having a chance to be a starter or a real impact player off the bench but this is a good pickup by the C’s. A 6’9 PG that got game like that and is only 24 years old is good for the team. In my opinion I think this signing puts pressure on Pritchard and JD Davidson to step up because if they don’t Dalano Banton could easily take they’re spot in the rotation and even on the whole team

    Seriously sad to see him leave the Raptors. Nick Nurse didn't give him a chance. First Canadian born player on the Raptors and a Toronto man to the bone. Great speed and length as a pointguard, but has no jumper. With a bit of development he could be a monster--he murders the G League--and I fear in a few years he's going to make Toronto pay for releasing him, much like Jonas Valanciunus (sp) did.

      @riyaandrayplay6856 11 місяців тому +1

      @@CleanMusicLover229 Kinda. I'm a PG myself. Our job is to run the offense. Sometimes the offense dies or the other team goes on a run. It's then our job is to be the offense. This requires a little mid range game. Simple little pull ups. Yes, we can get inside but the leauge is so big these days and the defense is so good that, having a little mid range game is a must. It's for when the offense is slumping, you're in charge so you need to put the team on your back for a min and get a run going. This sparks your team. If you drive and pass a lot the defense will pick up on this. Drive shoot a mid range jumper and now the defense must honor you as a shooter as well. Which then opens up the shooters. Just like with Rondo in the Finals, when Kobe left him to double Pierce and our whole team. Rondo can't shoot so he just left himx. He's ok but hopefully JD has his jumper down now a little and thats our guy. Watch. Smart also has zero mid range game and he hurt our offense.. He's not a true PG though so its not really his fault.

    Other than Unicorn i dont know wtf Brad is doing. These last 2 guys are both worse than Grant and Grant will also be gone. Brogdons injury really screwed the team over in many ways. They kept talking about the Green light to spend but these pick ups are nothing. We need scorers off the bench. Tell me when Tatum sits where are the points coming from? That was a big problem last year and they still haven't addressed it. We need a shooter and a rebounding big for the bench .

    I pretty much was all over these signings as far as what the Celtics need and type of players and they are following suit. I can't stand the media because they just throw names out there that don't really fit. He fits what they need vs overspending on someone else. Same with Oshae. And their second round pick. Once they lost smart they needed pg play and physicality on the cheap. The media on the other hand was focused on all these other guys that are overpriced and overrated and don't fit. I had in my mind the type of pg they needed and this guy fits that. Same with Davidson really. Even Pritchard. The Celtics were ahead of the curve in that regard. Pritchard should be playing more. If they get Lillard obviously that changes somewhat.

  • @Benjj99413
    @Benjj99413 11 місяців тому

    Both he and Davidson. C's need actual pg play. These signings also give them flexibility with Grant Williams, Brown, Brogdon, Rwill, etc as far as making trades where they can go after a pg ala lillard if that presents itself. I think they are waiting on Brown's extension for that reason just to not limit themselves. Doesn't mean Brown will be traded either way. The media loves to run with this stuff but it's just common sense. They need actual pg play either way and added size and physicality. Oshae, their 2nd round pick and this signing basically cover that. Still would have rathered trade Brogdon over Smart for Kristaps but the C"s are doing their dilligence and still was the right move to upgrade their talent level. Kristaps is a better player than Smart if Healthy. Pretty even trade regardless. Smart does the intangible things and is a rock as far as competition is concerned. Kristaps hasn't been healthy in his career so far but doesn't mean that will be the case going forward. Kristaps has more upside ultimately but pretty even players value wise. Both the Celtics and Grizzlies should remain firmly in the hunt and upgraded themselves but are still behind Denver and Miami as it stands especially if Miami gets Lillard. Celtics still need another move and are gambling a bit with Kristaps.

    Guys like Oshae, their 2nd round pick and this signing are still down the roster imo as far as PT. It's basically Pritchard, White, Brown, Tatum, Kristaps with Brogdon, HOrford, Rwill as the tough guys now and Brogdon has questions even still. Their 2nd round pick. The jury is still out on Grant williams. Hauser. Oshae. Davidson. That's 13 players right there. He's still the 13th or 14th player on the roster. Plus Luke Kornet. Kornet could be gone imo depending on what happens with their other bigs. People are assuming Grant Williams is even gone at this point which may not be the case. This roster overhaul is far from done anyways. Doesn't mean he won't play. But he and Davidson will probably battle it out for the 4th pg and just depth as it stands. Pritchard, White Brogdon are 1, 2, 3 but that may even change. Pritchard is the guy who is going to see a lot more minutes right now. D avidson and this guy will more play a different role when the celtics need more penetration or White gets hurt. There is a small role on this team for a sam cassell type role but it's pretty small and right now it's Brogdon who is it in a larger role. White is going to start. These guys are more just depth and will play a very small role at times. I hate numbering guys like 1-13 down the roster bcause there is still a role there to be had.

    Brogdon, Rwill, etc could be traded for Lillard right now for all we know and these guys will not see the light of day. Brown could be dealt. The Celtics could decide to resign Grant Williams and cut Kornet. We don't know right now. Why the Celtics are just waiting it out even with BRown's extension. It doesn't mean he will be dealt like I said. But as far as the money is concerned it's silly to sign him to an extension until all the money and trade scenarios are worked out. They could trade for Lillard and match Grant Williams money if they trade someone for all we know. Or even trade Grant Williams in a sign and trade. Lillard has to want to come here so it doesn't mean anything right now. Just rumors.
