Banchero was the Rookie of the Year in 2023. Last season, he became an All-Star for the first time, proving himself to be an elite-level sophomore talent. There's no doubt that he could have made another All-Star selection this season if he'd stayed healthy.

Paolo Banchero scored 32 points and the Orlando Magic stiffened on defense late in the game to overcome some second-half snags for a 111-104 road victory against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night.
