Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic’s first overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft) is the bookie’s hot favorite to pick up the Rookie of the Year Award for the 2022/2023 season – at international sportsbook Bovada.
Banchero showed precisely why he was selected first overall in his two Summer League games, averaging 20 points, five rebounds, six assists, 2.5 steals, and one block per game in Las Vegas before being benched.
Banchero has already been slotted in as the association’s top power forward before even playing a regular-season game. His ranking was largely influenced by his ability to combine accurate passing with fluid scoring. He therefore appears to be a solid franchise cornerstone for the Magic.
The Magic will benefit from expanding its young and versatile squad as Banchero enters his debut season. The Magic tips off their first regular season game on October 19th Vs the Detroit Pistons.
