Paolo Banchero On Truly Wanting To Be Great, The Future of The Magic, Coach K's Last Season and More
Спорт
We're really excited about this week's guest. He's the #1 pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, Orlando Magic guard and leading candidate for Rookie Of The Year, Paolo Banchero. We cover so much in this episode from his wild year at Duke to his first few months of The NBA. Topics include: Being mistaken for Patrick Mahomes, the pressure of playing for Duke during Coach K's final year, the tragedy of losing to UNC, the motivation tactics of Coach K, what motivates Paolo to continue to play with an edge despite all the praise, his draft night experience, the draft night antics of his agent, Mike Miller, what he's learned from his first year in The NBA, his 'Welcome to The NBA' moment featuring Kevin Durant, how impressed he is with his fellow Orlando Magic players Franz Wagner and Bol Bol, where Seattle basketball ranks among other cities, an amazing Jamal Crawford 1-on-1 story and so much more.

It’s facts no way they go past 1st round unless they get some elite experienced veteran. Making playoffs would be an amazing achievement for this team though and I just placed a bet that they’ll make it 😂
As a magic fan, it’s real. It feels different. Paolo, Franz, Wendell .. just love to see it
Seattle folks just built different. Paolo is an educated, well-spoken individual and I'm glad he puttin on for the hometown. Hes gonna have a solid career for sure
Paolo is very mature, you’d think he was 25
Awesome interview. We in Orlando cannot be happier with the player this FO drafted. Paolo is a damn stud. The buzz is back at the Amway, you could feel the moment Paolo got drafted. I never been to a preseason game at the Amway where it was legit rocking, that happened in P5's first preseason game at home. We were already buzzing with Franz emergence last season, but Paolo kicked it up a notch. Cannot wait to see where this group will be in a few seasons. GO MAGIC!
J.J. Redick is an awesome individual for providing his KZread fans the content they love to watch, and inform us about from his perspective as a NBA Veteran!..🙌💯
It’s crazy how good he is already Ik he was special but I really can’t put a ceiling on this guy… he should’ve easily been the first pick idk how Chet and Jabari even came close to going number one over Paulo but man did the magic make the right decision… he don’t look like a rookie at all
Man, I loved this episode. I’ve been watching the Magic since I can remember and there are long stretches till you find a guy that makes you think we can finally get a ring!

Woah. A ring? 3rd round in the playoffs would be great for a lot of small market NBA teams in the past 30 years. Orlando went to the finals 15ish years ago. You can make a long list of marketable superstars that haven't done that. Some teams would love to have that. Nothing is guaranteed with the team, Paolo's development and health, etc. I'm hoping for a second round appearance in the next 2-4 years. That would be success. Anything more than that is both good fortune and good luck with a lot of hard work.
It’s going to be interesting to see if Paolo maintains this low profile throughout his rise to stardom. One of the most chill players I’ve seen in a while to be in the spotlight.

KD is the same way
His ability to answerl with vivid detail when JJ asks him a question is VERY impressive. Reminds me of Lebron a little. Couple that with his natural talent/focus/drive....he's going to be an All Time great.
I played against paolo in high school and I was a junior and he was just a sophomore but was already built like a grown man and when I tell you I seen this man almost put our team captain(senior) in a body bag I knew that he was different! The only I would say is that he should have been a hometown hero !!
paolo's such a level-headed guy
Paolo is that guy. Should have always been the clear #1 pick. My friends told me I was just being biased as a longtime duke fan and now they are like “nah you were right, he’s him” 😂
Paolo is too humble but fans don't need to be. Don't sleep. Magic are coming with this guy at the helm.

Paolo is a lcok to be a perennial top-10 player at worst for the next decade and I love Fultz more than my own family, but humility would probably be a good idea until that decade+ playoffs series win drought is broken lol
The size comparison between him and you two on the couch! Hahahahahah
8-1 in our last nine, future all-star talent in P5, Wagner, and MCJ, Bulls pick in 2023, this team is gonna be competitive SOON
Orlando fans deserve Paolo. They’ve been rebuilding since 2013 basically so to get someone this special is good for the game.
Been watching Paolo since he was in hs. I’ve been so stoked for y’all to have him. Can’t wait to listen.
Glad to see them giving this young Orlando team love… I remember in the beginning of the season JJ said the Detroit pistons were a young team to look out for and all I was thinking was THE MAGIC?????
Really cool kid. Wish him nothing but success
It’s dope down here in Orlando !! The team is playing great. Fultz, Paolo, Suggs and Franz are the future.

great work, great episode, thank you! 🙏🏼
Played Paolo when I was a Senior and he was a Freshman and I could not believe how good a player he was. ( Even better then Michael Porter Jr who ran Seattle for a year)
great interview! another young player to root for
Very well spoken, Orlando should be excited.
Appreciate that Franz question so much as a Magic fan
The magic height and length and high level of skill and versatility to go with it is really unparalleled. They could play a lineup of markelle/suggs/ or cole with franz, paolo, Isaac, and Wendell. The spacing isn’t even that bad and you have skill all over the floor
Brilliant!!! 365 emotions. Great person. The future.
You can already tell Paulo about to take over, bro already got confidence
Great interview!!
My Magic's big 3: Paolo, Franz, Bol. With Fultz, Dell, Cole and Bamba off the bench, Suggs.... so much depth.
I like that sidekick saying "these students who got nothing else going on but writing the paper"... As if students don't work their entire lives to get into Duke to do academic work. That lil guy knows Duke is an academic institution right?
get Franz and Mo on the pod! that'd be an awesome show!

I always wanted the magic to get a Tatum like player. I thought Tatum would be a superstar when he was a rookie and people were claiming Kyle kuzma was better. I knew that was bs, i could just tell Tatum had that it factor. With that being said, the magic I believe may have gotten something alittle better. He's already better than Tatum was his first two years Stat wise. Plus Tatum wasn't that good of a facilitator until recently. If you remember Boston players like Marcus smart was challenging Tatum and brown to pass more. That was just at the beginning of last season. Whereas paolo is already averaging almost 5 assist a game as a rookie and is getting better monthly. So I think he will end up being a little better than Tatum when it's all said and done. Plus he can do all the things Tatum can do but he's bigger, stronger etc already.
Paolo is Gonna be one of the Greats bet💯🔥🔥🔥

Man, can't wait to see him play tonight. Going to see my HOME ORLANDO VS MY CITY HOUSTON 🤘 Man it's going to be a good game‼️‼️
It's kinda crazy that this guy was able to take what little doubt people had about him and use it. Like it makes sense that guys like Fred Vanvleet or Jimmy Butler who no one said was any good would have that chip on their shoulder. But for this guy who was always on everyone's radar as a future star to be like "You don't think I'm number one? bet" and use that is pretty cool.

The Seattle all time 5 is so tough to decide. So many guards that all deserve shine and no bigs. When Paolo tried to not put himself on I was thinking bruh then who?! The true best team is some combo of 4 guards with Paolo at the 5. IT Jason Terry Jamal Broy Paolo ? Nate Rob 6th man
