The Dallas Mavericks made a slight edit to their roster on Tuesday afternoon, as they signed Dalano Banton to a training camp deal, releasing guard Matthew Cleveland in the process. Banton is a wiry 6-foot-8 guard with a pretty dynamic handle, but a lack of strength and inefficiency from outside have limited him from breaking into a consistent role with an NBA team.
However, Banton could be the perfect player to replace Dante Exum in Dallas, given they are both bigger-bodied guards that can use their length and foot-speed to their advantage at the point of attack, but Banton is only 25 years old and is far less injury-riddled compared to Exum.
