The 23 year old lanky point guard played his first two seasons in the NBA for the Toronto Raptors. We'll wait to hear if there is a player or team option on the 2nd year of Banton's contract.Free agent point guard Dalano Banton has agreed to a two-year contract with the Boston Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadum. Agent Aaron Turner of @VerusTeam negotiated the deal.
