Banton's a Raptor

[Fullbacksympathy]

That a kid.  Two of my favorite high character players with him and Roby in the league now.

It’s simply amazing!  Delano is like the poster child of “making the most of your opportunities.”
 
Congrats Delano!

I see why you had to change your HHC handle now, @hhcmatt... Good foresight for when Delano joins the board.

Between a former president with the middle name Delano and Blanton whiskey, Dalano Banton is an autocorrection nightmare.

Still Droppin' Dimes like D.B., the easier nickname for Dalano Banton as well as Damon Benning & defensive backs nationwide.

The phrase that he changed his shooting mechanics sort of made me go hmmmmmm.   We all knew that was necessary but he spent two years with a shooting guru of sorts and he struggled changing those mechanics.   Was money the necessary motivator? 

[Tallbaby21]

He couldn't have landed in a better scenario. The Raptors are probably the best team in the league for player development.

2.5 seconds into his NBA debut 

[millerhusker]

Solid first game for Dalano. In 12 minutes he had 7 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and no turnovers. 

Tonight was the first time since 2009 (I think - Lue and Moore) that Nebraska had two former players play in NBA games.

Dalano’s official height is 6’7”.  The exaggeration of our players’ heights is getting out of hand.

Both came out of the 2nd round. That's ... not usual.

We're "middling." WOO-HOO!

 

"He’d bounced around a pair of middling college programs, first at Western Kentucky and then at Nebraska, and wasn’t projected to be drafted in most mock drafts."

Who can forget when those two “middling” programs squared off in the 1986 NCAA Tournament with 6’6” Bernard Day starting at Center for Dave Hoppen. Clem Haskins was your Hilltoppers Coach…

Moe's last game.

Delano looks to be a solid pro at this point. He has opportunities to further his game, and if he does, he could be pretty special. 

Yes...I am a bit surprised.  He has unique tools for his size, but he didn't seem to step out last season as a NBA type talent.  Good for him!!
