Max Banchy brings low-usage, defense-first guard minutes for New Orleans
Banchy profiles as a compact, low-mistake guard who can give New Orleans steady bench minutes: in his 25-game season, he averaged 2.7 points in 14.2 minutes while shooting 34.1% from three and 80.0% at the line, with modest playmaking but some defensive activity (0.4 steals per game). He’s not a high-volume scorer, but his value is in spacing, effort, and filling a role without forcing the action. At 6'2" and 170 pounds, he fits best as a complementary backcourt piece rather than a primary creator.[4][5]
