Is there a betting line on how many consecutive games he plays before being out again?

If has one good game the Blazers should trade him.

 

[blazerfan11]

The arena is empty lol. I’d be livid if I were a Pels fan.

Just a couple seasons ago the Pelicans were the up-and-comers.

 

[blazerfan11]

We all deserve a beer for our efforts.

 

[Irish Trader]

I want to see Clingan in a low post offense not on the perimeter above the three point line. I don’t like the high post offense the way we play way above the top of the key. Why do you put your 7’2” 25 to 30 feet away from the basket

 

[KingSpeed]

I don't know.

Waiting until this point to play Banton seems idiotic to me, after what he did in the last game.

It’s a good strategy. Bring him in when everyone’s tired.

 

[MickZagger]

I liked Benton late in the season last year. I always like tall guards. Tired of small guards that cannot defend

I liked Banton when he played in Toronto. I was miffed when Boston buried him on their bench. I’m even more confused why he’s at the end of our bench.

6’6”, smooth, with guard skills.

 

[blazerkor]

It was a fun fourth quarter. We did it against a Pelicans team that was playing without any of their top 5 players. It’s another win when what our franchise needs is losses. Again though, I was into it that last quarter and I don’t fault our guys for playing their butts off. GO BLAZERS!!!

 

[blazerfan11]

Banton got 20 points in 12 minutes.

 

[KingSpeed]

I just realized. Banton is the perfect player for Chauncey's offense. There is no offense, so Banton just gets to freewheel.

Every time down, I was saying to my TV “don’t pass don’t pass” and he didn’t. Had no plans on passing. Just bucket bucket bucket.

 

[bemac]

Banton + Sharpe?

Be fun to see what Banton + Sharpe + Camara + Avdija + Ayton looks like

isn't he like 6'8 or 6'9?

He was a lot of fun to watch tonight, even if it was dominating the Pels’ second stringers.

The Knicks are 3-3 are you livid at that?

6’9”

Banton will go down in history as redefining the point guard position.

 

[Blazinaway]

6’9”

Yep. "Measured 6’7.75” barefoot, 6’9” in shoes 9’0.5” standing reach, 194.4 lbs, and 6’10.25” wingspan at the 2021 NBA G-League Elite Camp …"

Magic 2.0...lol

 

[MickZagger]

isn't he like 6'8 or 6'9?

He is. You’re right. I knew he was tall, but didn’t realize that tall.

crazy

 

[blazerfan11]

isn't he like 6'8 or 6'9?

Here are some of Dalano Banton's measurements from the 2021 NBA G-League Elite Camp:

• Height: 6'7.75" barefoot, 6'9" in shoes
• Standing reach: 9'0.5"
• Weight: 194.4 lbs
• Wingspan: 6'10.25"

 

[KingSpeed]

He was a lot of fun to watch tonight, even if it was dominating the Pels’ second stringers.

He was dominating the Suns’ starters last game. He dominates everybody.

 

[MickZagger]

He was a lot of fun to watch tonight, even if it was dominating the Pels’ second stringers.

When he came in the game it was essentially tied. Ingram was still in there.

 

[Strenuus]

What an awful win.

 

[blazerfan11]

Banton obviously should be in the rotation, before the 4th quarter.

Scoot played twice as many minutes, was 2-6 , 5 assists and 5 turnovers.

 

[KingSpeed]

The Knicks are 3-3 are you livid at that?

Nope. I’m saying I’d be livid if some third stringer came in the game and dropped 20 on us. As for Knicks, we’re gonna be alright. We’ve got lots of talent and a good coach. Wins will pile up inevitably.

 

[KingSpeed]

Magic 2.0...lol

Everything we hoped we could get in a CJ for Simmons trade.

 

[blazerfan11]

I wouldn't expect Banton to get a lot of assists. But who needs assists when you're shooting better than everyone else.

 

[KingSpeed]

Banton obviously should be in the rotation, before the 4th quarter.

Scoot played twice as many minutes, was 2-6 , 5 assists and 5 turnovers.

No keep Banton in this role as secret weapon. It’s very enjoyable.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Banton is every bit the microwave bench gunner we all wish Ant would be.
