NBA Fans can’t decide whether Paolo Banchero is GOOD or AWFUL 😭 #Shorts
Paolo Banchero Had the WORST Pull-Up Shooting in the NBA… Then THIS Happened
Paolo Banchero went from a 31.5% EFG on pull-up jumpers (the worst in the entire NBA) and a 116 defensive rating through the first 43 games of the season to averaging 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists on 44/44/92 shooting splits since the All-Star break. His defensive rating has dropped nearly 10 points. His drives have jumped from 12.6 to 16.3 per game.
With Franz Wagner sidelined indefinitely with a high ankle sprain and the Orlando Magic fighting for playoff positioning at 31-26, Banchero has stepped up as THE franchise player — highlighted by his 36-10-6 performance and game-winning assist to Desmond Bane against the Lakers.
But is this a permanent transformation or just another post-All-Star mirage? Paolo did the same thing last year, averaging 29 PPG after the break. At just 23 years old, the upside is massive — but the sample size is tiny.

Franz might be better 😂
So he's been hurt. Just say he had a nagging injury.
He was dealing with an injury
I guess he took "its a marathon not a race" quite literally…. also i believe this is around the time players take conference standing seriously
He always looks so confident. When he gets the ball I'm always like, oh he's finna go crazy. But… 😂😂😂
He would drop his best performance on LA
That Florida lifestyle will have you bullshi**ing at work
Players should take turns trying to pass wilt scoring record vs the lakers
Hes a "meh-star".
The problem is he is a inconsistent player
He is amazing most of the time when he plays if he is considering he could be a all star
Bro really brand new Paulo 😂😂 people like you are such clowns it’s been 4 games buddy wait a few week before saying dumb shit
He is okay. Not on the elite tier at his position but good enough that he’s going to have a very long career if healthy.
