Magic's Paolo Banchero: Poor effort Tuesday Rotowire 20 HRS AGO Banchero ended with five points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 104-92 preseason loss to the Pelicans. Banchero made his presence felt across the board but struggled massively as a scoring threat, though based on his track record, there's a strong chance this was nothing but an off night for the 2022-23 Rookie of the Year. Banchero will aim to build off a stellar rookie year in which he averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

I see “mid,” I downvote.

[–] winston73182@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah “mid” and “butthurt” are the two Idiot Flag words.

[–] ThroughTheWildNight@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You must be downvoted a lot of comments here then

Paolo is the real deal

[–] Wes_119@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

he's a good author

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s preseason. Tf you mean poor effort

[–] SnooChickens9571@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not my writing. Pasted it. Just taking everyone’s temperature on the dude

[–] Dirty_Quesadilla@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I agree, this was a poor effort post by OP.

Baller, but Franz is the better player right now. Paolo's defense has looked better in preseason. Hopefully that is something he continues to improve upon and continues to grow as a playmaker. He was an empty calories player as a rookie for the most part, but he did get to the free throw line.

[–] mharri05@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's the rookie of the year

[–] agk927@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hes going to be good. Has all the intangibles

[–] herseyhawkins33@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Y'all crazy with lack of patience when it comes to young players

[–] whtge8@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Never seen a rookie criticized so much for their efficiency like Paolo has…

[–] Bigportions@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Casuals love to generalize

[–] pointguard22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] JonTheHobo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Very high on him this upcoming season

[–] Billybaja@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Take this to the fantasy sub

[–] Equivalent_Bet1519@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s overhyped. Will probably end up as one of those dudes who puts up stats on terrible teams with middling efficiency

[–] BetsonStennet69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The new Julius Randle with more athleticism. Great popcorn stats, meh efficiency.

[–] scifier2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just a bad game. Happens to the best of them.

[–] likpoper@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] BeachCruisin22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not sure where he can go but right now he's way overhyped

[–] qpwoeor1235@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He was the best guy on team USA in several games and was only 20 yrs old

[–] Either_Opening_41@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Franz is their best player clearly

[–] Poopscooper696969@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Paulo is going to be a star nephew

[–] aj-1_23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
  1. It was a preseason game. Chill.
  2. I think this is a pretty normal growth area for young, super-talented, score first players like Paolo. Being able to stay locked in, defend, and impact the game in other ways when your shot isn’t falling or you’re not getting good looks is something that comes with maturity.
[–] Headlesshorsman02@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is a very good player, inefficient, but good

[–] NardP12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Felt like he will be a multiple time all-star. Derozan tier something like that

[–] n0th1ng10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s good but these ppl who have been ranking him as a top 30 player are high. He’s not close to as good as kp, Randle guys like that.

[–] SeedOilsRGood4U@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nephew kindly stop posting

[–] SenatorBimmons10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is a good version of Tobias Harris.

I dont mean that as an insult, I think he will have a very good career, his game just really reminds me of Tobi.
