Player Notes: it’s easy to forget that Paolo Banchero is only 22. He has already won Rookie of the Year, made the All Rookie team, became an All Star and put up stats that compare with anyone. How was 23/4? He literally improved every major category of his game from his dominant rookie season. Points went from 20 to 22.6 year over year. Rebounds went up.. assists up… steals up… blocks up…FG % up…..3PT % up…. Wait, that seems really good. How about 2024/25? Again, he was up in every major statistical category including a phenomenal 26 points and 8 rebounds per game, while also leading his young team into the NBA Playoffs. The guy is a superstar and the sky is the limit. Now he has Desmond Bane in town for 2025/26… and yes, the numbers look great… 21 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists per game. It’s getting hot down in Orlando.
