Despite being a mid-second round pick, Banton played a solid amount for the Raptors as a rookie in '21-'22, especially earlier in the season before Nick Nurse starting cutting his rotation and playing his starters the amount of minutes you don't normally see in the regular season. The Raptors didn't have a ton of passing on their roster, so Banton's skillset came in handy as a playmaker with some size. Banton was also physically a good fit in Toronto as they clearly have the priority of just putting a ton of length on the floor. In '21-'22, he often got the backup point guard minutes over Malachi Flynn, the Raptors first round pick in 2020. However, that flipped in '22-'23, as Banton's minutes declined as he mostly fell out of the regular rotation. He didn't get on the floor for Boston in '23-'24, but started to show some flashes of good play after being traded to Portland, and those flashes continued in '24-'25. Banton will likely need to either shoot better from outside or improve defensively to become anything more than a back-end rotation player, as he's shooting 31% from three thus far, and his overall true shooting of 49.5% is well below average. I think Banton is still an interesting player going forward. He has been productive for the Blazers, having some big scoring games and posting a good assist rate for a wing. He's not super young at 25 years old, but he's young enough that having optimism for him to improve his reasonable.
