#Magic’s Paolo Banchero told us he wasn’t happy after his 16-point performance in a loss at Memphis on Saturday.
So, naturally, he bounced back with 50 points against the Pacers.
“I keep having to remind myself that I’m still very young, very early in my career.”

The only hope the Pacers have of slowing down Paolo Banchero tonight is through foul trouble. P5 picks up his fourth foul. There’s 8:24 left in the 3rd. – 8:31 PM

Paolo Banchero is doing whatever he wants to the Pacers. It up to 32, half his team’s points. Plus 7r, 6a.
Looking like an All-NBA player. – 8:00 PM

Magic have jumped out on the Pacers — and it’s the duo of Jalen Suggs (12) and Paolo Banchero (9).
Toppin, the Pacers’ first sub, already leads them with 5pts. – 7:23 PM

Paolo Banchero: “Seattle, I think Seattle is pound-for-pound the best basketball factory in the country. When you look at just the depth we have in the history, we got years on years—whether it’s Doug Christie, one of the first OGs, then you got Jason Terry, Isaiah Thomas, Jamal Crawford. You know, the list goes on and on and on from generation to generation, year by year. And, um, I feel like I’m kind of new generation. Both my mom and dad are both from Seattle, so, you know, it’s in my blood, and yeah, I just take it with me wherever I go.” (2:02) -via YouTube / October 25, 2024
