Paolo Banchero is The Future of Basketball 

Orlando is building a future juggernaut of a squad. Look out

It's wild how relatively under-the-radar Paolo has gone for a very good ROTY. Idk if it's just because he's on the Magic or what, but dude is a surefire future allstar as a rookie and he doesn't get much hype for it

This upcoming season I’m thinking Paolo will have 24pts/8rbs/5ast on roughly 45-35-80 shooting splits, in a few years he can be easily be at 30pt scorer and an annual MVP candidate. After a decade of disappointment us Magic fans finally have hope with Paolo and Franz.

u should talk about old teams that won the chip and how their strategies worked. (EX: 2016 cavs, 2019 raptors, 2021 bucks, 2011 mavs)

Banchero is one of my fav young players and I am drawn to his ambition playing in fiba

Paolo been a beast. I like the way he plays when I've seen.

Paolo is having a great Fiba tournament

Keep in mind, Blake Griffin is actually shorter than his rookie year’s listed height at 6’9 with a much shorter wingspan than Paolo. He’s a little less athletic than Blake but they have no pretty similar games. Paolo has a higher ceiling and has the ability to be the best player on a championship team and a perennial MVP candidate. His playmaking and 3pt development will make or break his career going forward. The difference will be Blake Griffin or Karl Malone/Charles Barkley type.

Paolo is what Ben Simmons was supposed to be.

He's like a hybrid Carmelo/Blake griffin. Has the potential to become a great Pf/Sf especially if he can guard 1-4

That terrible February when he had the neck injury REALLY deflated his 3pt% Im not saying he was a sharpshooter before but he still was at w/e % he ended at....34, 35% after that pitiful 1-35 February. He was basically our PG as a 20 year old rookie for the first 20 or so games too because we had zero guards...By the time Paolo is 24/25 he'll be in the discussion for one of the best in the league.

Paolo Banchero has the face of the league potential.

This is why I'm excited to watch the Magic next season even if they are good or not, both Paolo and Franz has the potential to be perennial all-stars!

For a rookie I don't think shooting 34-36% from 3pt is a big deal, his mechanics are pretty solid so hopefully it's something that improves year over year and eventually becomes an elite aspect of his game.

I was a bit surprised when they subbed out JJJ for Paolo. I thought Paolo played small forward. Well, it turns out he can play center in small ball lineups.

Bam seems to be similar in size. Similar weight, height, and wingspan. Good video like normal.

Go magic

Dudes a beast

Go Magic ❤

Great vid. You should make one on Shaedon sharpe. His ceiling is even higher than bancheros

This kid is going to be phenomenal. He literally saved 3-5 years of the GM/Presidents job in Orlando lol.

I hope Paolo is watching this. What a great analyst. Hope he takes it too the next level which we know he will only 2nd season =)

I think the magic are gonna surprise ppl this year

Been watching him play since his HS days. The 206 is representing well.

I’ve always said paolo is a cross breed of Blake griffin Chris Webber and melo all rolled into one player Webber and griffin for the simple fact he can play above the rim run the offense and hit the midrange jumper melo for the fact paolo doesn’t need much space to get his shot off and he’s a bully down low when he has to just get a bucket he’s already a handful for opponents he’s just gonna get better and better he’s a student of the game wants to learn as much as possible

Paolo is really good, I just wish the magic was somewhat decent in the nba

They act like we never seen Power Forwards like this (Melo,Mashburn,Webber,Glen Rob,J Oneal, etc)early 00’s had a handful of these players like Paolo he reminds me of those players

When Hoop Venue drops, we drop everything and tune in

Paolo is gonna be a monster his physicality and in the paint and defense feels like old school game he’s gonna be dominate

I love Paolo at the 5. he's hot so much space to work with

I’ve been tryna tell this to everyone

Paola potential is lebron if he can improve his playmaking and shooting that boy is going to be lethal

Where do you get game film to study?

Ant I believe will be 1 in the league even ahead of guys like luka and Tatum in About 5 yo 6 years

He proved me wrong

He and Franz are 2 elite wings

After watching him play center for Team USA, it's pretty clear he could easily do it in the NBA. He offers plenty of rim protection and rebounding. And it creates a ton of space on offense which is very hard for the other team to guard. It's really too bad he's on a roster like the Magic's. It's going to be hard for him to get a ton of minutes at center. Mosley and the front office both seem to love ultra-big lineups. You've got Wendell Carter there, who is a good player deserving of minutes. But you've also always got a couple of backup bigs. They finally moved on from Mo Bamba and what did they do? Promptly added Bitadze. Mo Wagner is also still there. I'm just not sure how realistic it is that we see more than token Paolo-at-center minutes any time soon. I'm sure he'll put up numbers at the 4. But I think the key to really unlocking him and making him the engine of an unstoppable offense is playing him at center a bunch. I'm not saying he needs to start there. But I want him playing at least half his minutes there.

This makes me feel better as a hornets fan with Brandon miller

Voop Henue, I left my wife and 7 kids to watch this video!

Orlando is such a fun fit for him

With that size, his knees and ankles are gonna take a beating.

Paolo is people thought Ben Simmons would become

Paolo is what Mike Beasley should have been , Paolo more mobile cuz well we fastfowarded 15 yrs and the game is different but they operate in the same areas , go watch college Beasley and you’ll see what i mean

Jaylen Brown your next video Hoop Venue 😤😤😤😤

Great player, future all-star, and all-NBA, All he needs is to improve his FT and 3Pt % to above average, and with his all-around skill, he will dominate the league!

If they had hand checking how positonless would basketball be

The Magic have to sort out their backcourt.

La lakers drooling on this one waiting for paolos 3rd contract

He laid a dud today against Lithuania

It’s crazy cause Mobley could be the same way but he’s gonna look like more of an anthony Davis if he ever gets the opportunity that p5 does

KG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEVIN GARNETTTTTTTTTT

I think Edward’s is next up

And don’t forget Lebron was 6’9 275 at one point in Miami, and even right now he is easily 260, so don’t forget him, the Lakers have probably the best front court in term of defensive versatility because of them 2 (And of course this season Rui, Vanderbilt, Taurean Prince, Hayes or even Cam Reddish), they have a crazy front court+ Reaves who is one of the best 3rd option you can find in the whole league, especially for Lebron and AD, the fit is amazing and now we have Gabe, who is a much better fit than Shroder, the Lakers are deep this season, no excuses this year.

Yeah, this dude is winning atleast 2 chips in his career.

After watching the Nuggets destroy the league, I think sharing the rock is the future. No more this 1 guy putting up 30+ every night only to disappear in the playoff's.

Idk he is that big 6'10 and only 20 imagine Paolo hit that 6'11 or 7' with 280 lbs, i can see another DMC potential hope he can stay healthy for the next 10 yrs.

during paolo rookie year people couldnt stop talking about wemby

to early of an assessment, they havent met good bigman defense like canada or spain

Lebron James basically embodies versatility

Paolo is under the radar because the Orlando media down here is terrible. It's been like that since Shaq left.

Who is Gordy jang?!

Banchero build is similar to rookie lebron

The fact u haven’t done a reaves vid yet is crazy lol

None of these things are revolutions in basketball pace and space goes wayyyy back from 80s showtime to run tmc ….using your big to initiate offense can be seen in 2000s Portland with Arvydas Sabonis and back in the 80s with Boston and Bill Walton..Motion goes back to the Utah teams off the 90s and the plays they run actually are called Princeton motion which was a staple of how they ran offense from the 8os …Paolo comparison is basically Carmelo Anthony in recent times and Bernard King before that

STOP IT. EVERYONE wantw to be first. His game will dictate where he ends up. We DON'T KNOW if hes got nezt or not. People were saying thr SAME THING about Zion a short while ago....

Pablo's game kind of reminds me of Carmelo Anthony just a little bit more team oriented

LeBron James is 6’9 250-285 over his time in the league

NO. HE NEXT LOW TIER BLAKE GRIFFIN

He doesn't have a 3pt shot. Not yet, at least.

After the FIBA I would delete this post. Very underwhelming!

Chris Webber with better handles.

Naw, ANT MAN already got that covered.

now post shooting splits. more importantly 3p%.

ok

He'll break out once he's on the Lakers after his rookie contract.

Perhaps part of the future, but not the future. And Franz Wagner is much better.

Aaron Gordon 2.0 possible star. Not superstar

AD is versatile alright. He has sooooo many outfits to wear when never playing

Hopefully the Magic can build a team around him there team management is horrible. They lost Shaq and Dwight already. Don't waste Paulo's carrer.

Aaron Gordon like type of player

Banchero is like a slower, less athletic Lebron, but he has that deceptive speed and great handles for his size, a bit like Doncic, but Julius Randle also fit that description and he is an average player so its one thing to play similar to someone, and one thing to play similar AND be as good as someone . For exemple Derozan play like MJ or Kobe, he even has the same build, but he is nowear near as good as them, but Kawhi play like MJ or Kobe, and at his peak when he is healthy he can be just as good as them. And most of the time you can see that « it » factor, and i don’t see it in Paolo, there are so many great young players in the league that i don’t see him becoming even close to the player Lebron or even Doncic is, but i think he can be an ALL STAR level player like a KAT or Julius Randle.

2:41 that’s a travel, and just an awful missed call.

Haha, ur such a US fanboy…a 6’10” big is the future of basketball but his Orlando teammate, a 6’10” point-wing, isn’t? Lololol 😂

No he is not the future of basketball. The saudis will buy all of them just like liv golf.

Na. Dont see it. He will be good. But not THE FUTURE of basketball.

Average player with inconsistent shooting.

He's not, terrible analysis
