69. Dalano Banton, SF, Nebraska, Sophomore

File this one under “just weird enough to be interesting.” Banton can’t shoot, but he has a point guard’s handle and passing ability at 6-foot-9, and one wonders how that might look in a more open NBA floor and separated from an atrocious Nebraska team. Banton made a positive impression at the G League elite camp and I suspect he’ll be high on teams’ 2-way lists as a developmental project.

I'm very happy for Banton and hope he has all the success he's looking for.  However, this take is very odd.  He's going to be better because he's not on an atrocious Nebraska team.  Meanwhile, he was the point guard.  The point guard in BB is a pretty major position that contributes to the team ether being good or atrocious.

 
I didn't think he had a chance at getting drafted at all. What a great decision by him to bet on himself to get drafted and see his name get called! It is really cool that he got drafted by his home city, that has to mean a lot to him.
