While I consider myself a top 3 PP stan, I would love to see Banton, a 6'9ish PG blossom. Since my 1980s Celtics, I have always loved and believed in Big teams across the board. If Banton is or can be a pass first PG with enough shooting ability to keep defenses honest, then I am all for it.
Flip side I see PP having a surprisingly great year for a reserve. His shooting/play-making will rise with his new opportunities.
I would love it too because of the size versatility and if he can even be a serviceable shooter I think that helps more with his defense and ability to play closer to the rim and cut as well than a bump in shooting would make. Also I'm certain PP reads this stuff and needs motivation. Also also I was just trying to be bold
