This guy was arguing with me that J Dub has been better this season, and I said that Paolo was better for five months before February where he was still debatably better than Williams.
Then he proceeded to tell me Paolo was at best the ninth best player on the Magic 😂 some of these Reddit fans need to get off the internet and watch some games.

Honestly, I really liked Jalen Williams and now OKC fans have me hating this guy lol. Cherry picking stats from certain months and shit like it’s ESPN.

Ain’t no way this guy actually thinks there are 8 players better than Paolo on the Magic.

Thunder fan here. Sorry about some of these fans people get silly. Paolo is still ROTY. I think JDub has made an argument for number 2 now with Kessler and Mathurin. Obviously given age, Paolo is the prize of the draft so far

He’s right. Analytically speaking, Banchero is not very good right now. He’s inefficient on offense, and just plain bad on defense. From an analytics perspective, Banchero is not rookie of the year. You guys just love him because he’s our new shiny #1 pick. Statistics are facts, and the fact is that he’s not very good right now. Obviously he’s only a rookie, and we can expect him to improve. His potential is sky high. Let’s not kid ourselves that he’s already an all star or whatever.

It blows my mind when people choose to be delusional like this. Williams is a tremendous player and I’m more than excited for OKC but this is a wild take.

I stopped reading after it said Paolo is our 9th best player. I’m all for supporting your guy, but don’t make up shit

I can kinda understand their point. Paolo did have a really bad February, and sometimes he’s a negative on the court. Dudes ceiling is still so high though, and rookies go through some pains. Jalen Williams is also like 18 months older than Paolo, so it isn’t surprising that he’s more efficient right now.

i would bet he has only watched Paolo play when he faced his team.
