Paolo Banchero Is The First Rookie Since Lebron To Have 25/5/5 In Their NBA Debut (draft, star)

He is the real deal. 27-9-5 in his first NBA game. There was a lot of chatter before the NBA draft that his upside was not that high. I think he has the potential to be one of the best in the league.

I saw an article that said his NBA comp was…Juwan Howard. Glad that’s not the case

I would say wait until he plays 25 games. So far after 2 games he looks great, but don't forget how Michael Carter Williams started his career, looking like a star with at the very minnimum 4 all star selections by the time his career is done, only to be a rotation player for his career.

I think his upside is bigger stronger Jason Tatum. He has to work on his outside shooting. But he is a good ball handler, had good offensive moves and seems to play defense. I watched him against Boston last night. He made a couple of bad plays. One trying to take Smart off the dribble and got the ball stolen and driving into the lane with nowhere to go and turning it over. But he is two years removed from playing high school ball and the level of competition is quite different now.

He made a great play blocking Tatum's reverse layup attempt last night.
