Scouting Report

Assets
  • Banks has a solid NBA frame, but is still capable of driving to the basket. He is elusive and is a talented ball handler.
Flaws
  • His height puts him at a disadvantage against the taller point guards in the NBA.
Career Potential
  • While not a likely candidate for rookie of the year, Banks should be an impact rookie.
