MISUNDERSTOOD: Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero still DRIVES success – What critics are MISSING
Paolo Banchero has not looked like the same imposing All-Star he was in his the first seasons of his career. But despite concerns over his shooting and his scoring impact, Banchero has made some significant gains. He is still making a positive impact for the team with his passing and his rebounding.
There are other stats too where Banchero has historically struggled that he and the team have made gains in. It all suggests that when Banchero finds his offensive groove again, he and the Magic will take a major leap.
Everything is gearing for the Playoffs. That is where Orlando wants to make its mark this season.

Paolo is a player who has proven himself. There’s nothing y’all gonna criticize him for. Just wait and see him adjust
He’s great but decision making is average at best. Settling for mid range shots should be eliminated and leaving your feet and deciding what to do mid air is a bad habit. Wanting a foul called and not getting back on defense is a problem. He’s our most talented player but he’s making the same mistakes.
Wagner is one of my favorite player but his fanatics give him credit for everything good that happen for Orlando… while banchero was out da Silva and Black contributed to wins as much as Wagner yet they talk about Wagner like he carried them on his back… through that stretch without banchero…bane da Silva Black suggs arguable played as good as Wagner… throughout that stretch Wagner had two standout game one against the Knicks where he dominated and I think another against Miami…Wagner fanatics are like tua fans in the NFL they thinks he do no wrong
