NBA Draft: The best team fits for the top 10 prospects of the 2022 class
3. Paolo Banchero, F, Duke
Best team fit: Orlando Magic
In the middle of a complete rebuild, there’s one goal that the Orlando Magic have to have heading into the NBA Draft and the offseason as a whole – and that’s finding a new face of the franchise, who the team really hasn’t had since Dwight Howard.
One prospect that could fit that mold is Paolo Banchero, the highly touted prospect out of Duke. Assuming nothing drastic happens, he’s slated to be a top 3 pick and there’s still a chance he gets taken No. 1 overall.
Banchero brings that big-star feel to the Magic and his game could back that up in the right situation. If he’s the real deal, he could very much take the Magic to the next level as a franchise.
