Dalton Banks gives Illinois State a steady, two-way lead guard with real playmaking juice
Banks is a productive, high-usage guard who in 2024-25 averaged 10.1 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 49.6% from the field, giving Illinois State a dynamic two-way engine rather than just a score-first guard.[5][7][9] He flashes disruptive defense, can pile up steals, and has a proven ability to swing games with bursts like his 19-point outing and six-steal performance in 2023, but his 3-point consistency and turnover control are the main swing skills for next-level fit.[2][3][11]
