Summer League Thread Part 5: Raps win Finale 86-72. Banton 9,9,4/Morgan 24pts

so banton's really glaring weakness, and it's a big one, is that he can't shoot. but his form doens't look awful and unfixable. but it will take alot of work. but if he can get to average on catch and shoot 3's and elbow jumpers, then his length and defense makes him a really valuable player at guard.

Can't wait to see Banton in a couple of years after two seasons' worth of Raptors development work. He could be an interesting player to plug into this "positionless" experiment. Definitely needs to learn how to shoot though.

[Bruin]

Banton can be a legit high end role player in this league with proper development

Just tuning in now. How has Scottie looked?

need to get him on our Noahlytics development program

The shooting's only a problem for Banton if he can't get to the rim. So far, nobody's stopped him.

doing a good job cheering on the team from the bench. No Scottie/Precious/Malachi/Yuta today.

Wtf? Scottie Barnes needs all the game time he can get. He should be playing.

Former Raps 905 legend, Alize Johnson!

Yeah, true. He should eat second unit guys though.

I think the pull up will be just as important since he is more of a ballhandler. Coming off that pick and roll teams will go under every time, he's gotta shoot the pull up well enough to force them to go over so he can be ahead of the play. Really once he has that to his game he'll be able to shoot over anyone with his length.

Its fine, relax. All the lottery picks sit out the last game, other guys need a look thats the unwritten rule of SL.

my guess is since this game has no implications, it's being used as a last chance for all the Raptor hopefuls to make their case while we sit the guys that are definitely on the roster

Channing Frye making fun of this entire game and treating it like a joke is f'ing annoying.

[djsunyc]

i thought game 6 vs. the bucks was the best raptors game in history but i think it might be this one.

[blastttOFF]

This is so painful to watch
