Welcome to Orlando, Paolo!

Well, this will hopefully spice things up for us offensively (much needed). And at the very least, this is not a boring pick. How it will all turn out I don't know. But even though I like him, Jabari would've felt so vanilla/meh to me. It's probably just because we've been linked to him since the lottery, but with Jabari I just would've worried that we drafted another guy that can defend but can't get to the line, or the rim (relatively), to save his life. Banchero is a better playmaker in every way and will imo put way more pressure on defenses, UNLESS Jabari turns out to be a legit Curry-level shooter.

Hate we passed jabari, love we avoided chet. Paolo was my #2 option. Guy could be special. Best of luck to him and in Mike miller's scouting IQ I trust

Didn't know he had Italian roots. I would have rooted for him since first second.
Benvenuto Paolo! in bocca al lupo fra!

[The-Stallion70]

YESSS!!!!!! BANCHERO!!!!

[fateis007]

This was the pick ive wanted since day one. Screw taking a chance on these other guys. Paolo is built for the NBA, imagine him and wagner running the pick and roll with either one being the handler at 6'11 ? We are about to create some chaos in the nba.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Did any of our prayers reached out to him?
Welcome to our team. I’m going to be honest, I don’t know his game, not super excited but man do I hope he works out for us!!!
