Guys like porter have shown they belong but they have a low ceiling. Agbaji has a role as a defense guard OG replacement. We still need a backup point guard.
The problem is Banton specifically couldn't work here because of his lifestyle and history. He liked to party here and go to local clubs where gangs from his past hang out. Jealousy turns to money demand, threats. It was distracting him and he wasn't focused. He looks focused now and that could happen here.
Banton was just traded for a top-55 protected pick. We also just had two years of Banton and it appears as though no improvements have been made. I wish Banton well and want him to do well. He has already outperformed his draft position just by still being in the league. However, he’s just not an impactful player and he doesn’t have a great NBA skill. He’s just average to below average in everything. His height is why he’s still in the league.
