TreyMachine 394 Report post Posted September 22, 2022 3 hours ago, CTMagicUK said: Paolo Banchero. I think we need to tone it down a bit, y'all. Paolo is certainly good, but as has been indicated, he's more Luka Donchic thanks Lebron James (which still hitting the jackpot). Paolo's athleticism is good but not elite, but what he might lack in athleticism, he makes up for in BBIQ, which I take 9 times out of 10 (see the inverse here - RJ Hampton). Paolo is going to be good, and he'll probably be an all-star, but we need to quit comparing him to the generational talents of Jordan and Lebron. Depending on personality (marketability), he could be our biggest start since Tracy McGrady, and even then, he won't be the elite scorer McGrady was (athleticism plays a factor there), but he could be like Carmelo type scorer (big body, matchup nightmare) with better passing skills / BBIQ, which we should take every day. My Point: he's going to be great, but let's temper the expectations until we start seeing him play with other NBA players on a nightly basis. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Lergier 98 Report post Posted September 22, 2022 Orlando Magic Training camp starts: Tuesday, Sept. 27 New faces: Paolo Banchero (drafted No. 1) Caleb Houstan (drafted No. 32) Zavier Simpson (free agent) Kevon Harris (free agent) Simi ****tu (free agent) Preseason schedule: Oct. 3 at Memphis Grizzlies Oct. 6 at San Antonio Spurs Oct. 7 at Dallas Mavericks Oct. 11 vs. Memphis Grizzlies Oct. 14 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers One thought on the Magic: Banchero's rookie season is enough to be excited about Orlando's upcoming season, but after seeing how well Franz Wagner looked in EuroBasket, his progression may have the potential to overshadow that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think Zavier Simpson is the missing piece we’ve been waiting for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
