Banton is a far more useful player than Pritchard. PP provides absolutely nothing on offense when his 3s aren’t falling. He doesn’t have the size or burst to get by defenders and he’s not hitting C&S 3s so we’re playing 5v4 out there with him on the court on both ends of the court. Banton provides the size and length to hold his own defensively and is actually good at getting into the paint and collapsing the defense and making quick decision in there, like an actual PG should.
Pp took his man off the dribble last game and got a layup. He’s been making some good passes in the p&r throughout the season too. I see minor improvements from him. You’ll have to be patient, cuz he’s not going anywhere.
Banton has good size and makes good cuts. Good rebounder, although PP probably fights just as hard there. Banton has some flaws though. He can’t shoot and his handle is dicey. He’s not really a PG. Neither is Pritch I guess, but Pritch can protect the ball. Banton has good moments but he probably shouldn’t have the ball in his hands for too long.
