Dalano Banton

After two seasons in Toronto, Banton signed a two-year deal with the Celtics shortly after Boston dealt Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies. At 6-foot-7, the 2021 second-round pick fits Boston's affection for tweener guards. One could argue there wasn't a true point guard on the roster until Boston made a surprise move to add Jrue Holiday before training camp. After all the offseason moves, Banton is slated to compete with shoot-first three-point gunner Payton Pritchard for backup minutes behind Holiday and Derrick White. At 6-foot-1, Pritchard is the lone "typical" sized guard in the rotation. FastPP's defensive labilities could open the door for Banton to see double-digit minutes per game. But 11 minutes per contest is probably Banton's ceiling on this very talented roster unless the other guards suffer injuries. If that happens, Banton will still need to improve his 41.1 career shooting percentage to receive major minutes.
