Related Topics: Paolo Banchero, Orlando Magic

When Paolo Banchero is on the floor for the Orlando Magic, every eye is on him. The defense knows exactly why he is on the floor and is at least partially afraid of what he can do with the ball.

The Magic’s offense is at least partially geared to take advantage of this fear.

A 20-year-old with a 6-foot-10, 250-pound frame (bigger now by all reports and also the eye test) with the ability to bulldoze defenders to the basket or pull-up and hit soft jumpers over them or dish it to open players when the double team comes.
