Praising Bančero's boundless future.

In his debut All-Star season, the Orlando Magic's 2020 top pick, Paolo Banchero, has displayed star-level performance with averages of 22.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game, helping the team currently sit at 37 wins and 27 losses, temporarily ranking 5th in the Eastern Conference with a high probability of making it to the playoffs. Head coach Jamahl Mosley highly praised his passing ability, likening it to LeBron James'.

Mosley stated on the program, "Banchero's characteristic is his energy in the game. It's hard to classify him into a particular player type because he has LeBron James' passing ability, Carmelo Anthony's scoring ability, and his basketball IQ is incredible. On the other hand, it's his calmness and decision-making in the game. For a 21-year-old young player, possessing such qualities is rare and exceptional. He's like a combination of many stars; it's hard to say he's like someone. I think he's himself, and his uniqueness is special for what we're doing."

Comparing Banchero's passing ability to that of James is high praise. James ranks 4th in NBA history in assists with a career total of 10,868 assists. This comparison may also bring him great pressure as he continues to find his place. Standing at 6 feet 10 inches and weighing 250 pounds, his physique also makes him a threat on the defensive end. The Magic now have a true cornerstone. If Banchero can continue to be nurtured, and if his ability to control the game continues to improve at the current rate, then Mosley's template for him won't be too far off.

In today's NBA, being a forward who can organize the offense is a prerequisite to becoming a top-tier player. This is Banchero's ceiling. Over the next five years, Banchero is poised to become one of the league's best players. On the other hand, whether the combination of Banchero and Franz Wagner is enough to bring the Magic back to the ranks of the NBA's elite remains to be seen. However, the rapid rise of this sophomore to become an elite player in the league has amazed everyone.

Foreign media point out that Banchero now needs to learn how to deal with these expectations. Perhaps he can reach out to James for some advice. After all, they still have some similarities in their playing styles.
