Paolo Banchero goes against the status quo for the Orlando Magic

When it has come to “bigs,” which many will define Paolo Banchero as, the Orlando Magic have had a type. And it hasn’t exactly played out as they’ve liked. They like tall, long bigs. That’s no secret. Perhaps it’s time for Orlando to move away from that type.

Because of their history of that, it’s the reason why many expect the Magic to take Chet Holmgren No. 1. He’d be the ideal “type” for the Magic. However, with Mo Bamba already on the roster, I’m not sure they should continue to ram their head into that wall.

The Magic should try to go against the status quo and take a different approach in finding the new face of their franchise.

And, hey, perhaps this time it won’t result in the Magic selecting another “JAG.” Just another guy.
