While his regular season didn’t end on a high note, Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton made massive strides this year.
Banton started off the year with the Boston Celtics as one of the final players on the roster, but he became a key contributor for the Blazers after being traded just before the deadline.
Banton was appreciative of the Blazers for giving him an opportunity to play more and show his stuff.
“I can’t express how thankful I am to the organization - testing me like I’d been here since the beginning of the year,” Banton said in his exit interview h/t Danny Marang.
