Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic are MAKING a STATEMENT…
Hey hey hey all right Joel so Paulo B Caro and the Orlando Magic are currently one of the hottest teams in the NBA they have been great for the month of March and they are proving to the rest of the NBA in the league that they are in fact a
Team that is on the rise and hopefully will be here to stay for quite some time since February 14th so about for the last month and change the Orlando Magic have the third best record in the NBA they’re 15th in offensive rating second in defensive rating very close to First
And fifth overall in net rating and at the center of all of that is their star player Allstar Paulo benero former first overall pick is having a very solid second year he’s seeing a lot of growth in areas that he needed to and overall just continues to grow and be the
Cornerstone player that the magic are going to need him to be in order to continue to see success and I know that it’s been a pretty popular take on Twitter and other social medias for a while now but I’m going to reiterate it here because it just really does not
Make sense the lack of marketing from the NBA on behalf of Paulo banero in the Orlando Magic you know we’re in this position now where everyone’s saying you know LeBron’s on his way out Kevin Durant’s on his way out Steph Curry’s on his way out who is going to be the next
Face of the league star of The League the NBA has an American Born you know former first overall pick playing great basketball for two full seasons now and they just refuse to give any sort of marketing or propaganda to him in the Orlando and I forget what the exact
Number is but I’m pretty sure the Orlando Magic since getting Bano have only played in one nationally televised game which is just absolutely insane because I could go on some huge long rant but at the end of the day Polo Banker is just a really good and fun
Basketball player to watch and he once again proved this in a recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans a lot of people were hyping this game up because it is two of the hottest teams in the NBA clashing right now two young teams as well which is always a nice
Added bonus and Paul banero was the best player on the basketball court dropped a triple double and led his Orlando Magic to a huge huge win over the Pelicans now I’ll be honest and transparent I have really been keeping up with the NBA and basketball as closely as I did earlier
On the season I’m getting back into the swing of things but watching this game I think the thing that stood out most to me especially about Paulo Bank Caro getting into the specifics is his passing was on full display in this game and it was a beautiful thing to watch
The Pelicans are a really good defensive team especially their interior defense they are really good at not allowing points in the paint going up against the Orlando Magic that’s kind of their whole thing on offense is to get into the paint and get those easy shots especially someone like Paulo banero so
Early in the game first half especially the Pelicans did their normal thing of loading up the paint and they did not allow Paul banero to score any points I think he legitimately had two points like the entire first half so rather than continuing the Chuck shots and take
Bad Drive attempts instead Ben Caro did the smart thing and was setting up his teammates driving and kicking out going into the post and kicking out and just being a much better playmaker than scorer which is what the team needed at the time he had the ball in his hands a
Lot and he was in full control again just firing off great skit passes out of pick and rolls or out of the post if the other team was sending doubles at him plus I think by now we all know how good of a driver of the basketball Paulo
Banero is that was his probably best specialty coming into the NBA his ability to get to the rim draw free throws and all those good things but we’re now seeing him evolve into that next level of driver where he is kicking out he’s dumping to the other big and
He’s just making the smart decision it feels like every time he drives to the rim this is also a nice development to see because earlier in the season when the magic were having some struggles it just felt like the ball was sticking in Paulo Banko’s hands a lot more than it
Should have at least so it’s fun to look back on that because another thing that has opened up Ben Hero’s game a whole lot is his new found ability to shoot the basketball he had a very very rough uh shooting season from the Behind The Arc
In his rookie year he was at 29% from three but he has since seen that percentage jump up to 36% in his sophomore season it’s obvious but what that does is it makes the defense have to respect him and when it comes to defense I doubt
We’ll be seeing Ben Caro on an all defensive team anytime soon but do not let that fool you he is still a perfectly fine Team Defender uh in this one game specifically they’re playing the Pelicans his match up on Zion obviously with both them playing at the
Four and I thought he actually did a really really good job at defending Zion especially in isolation and on Drive attempts it feels like B Caro is one of the few guys in the NBA who actually is capable of staying with Zion in a one-on-one situation just because he’s
Kind of the same build you know they’re both big body fours that are you know like 230 plus so even if it’s not always showing up in the stat sheet with steals or blocks or anything like that b Caro is still a very solid Defender now to go
Back to the whole you know NBA marketing thing and the lack of it when it comes to PA B Caro I think the main thing that confuses me most about the whole scenario is that and I I don’t want you all to take this the wrong way but
There’s just a lot of shades of LeBron James to Paulo Banker’s game obviously I’m not trying to say that banero is LeBron James he’ll probably never even come close to as good of a player as LeBron James was during his time because let’s face it whoever will but the point
I’m trying to get at is that b Caro is a very similar body size he plays a very similar style to LeBron and especially with the fact that LeBron has become such a fan favorite in staple and Cornerstone of the entire NBA you would think that the NBA itself would
Recognize that and say huh maybe we should be marketing this next guy who plays a very similar style to LeBron I mean let’s just be honest how do you see this play here and not at least think like yeah he he’s got a little bit but I
Don’t know man uh regardless the Orlando Magic again like I said at the top of the video have been one of the more entertaining teams to watch during the season I’ve had a blast from literally the first couple of weeks until up till now they play a really good brand of
Team Basketball they move the ball they just play really smart basketball Jaylen Suggs has become one of my favorite players to watch in the entire NBA as he is quickly ascending the ranks of role players Jonathan Isaac is finally healthy for the first time in his entire
5-year career and he has just become a whole game recer on the defensive side of the ball while also becoming a 38% shooter from Beyond The Arc which hell even Mo Vagner has turned into a solid bench big and that’s just something that I never thought would
Ever happen in my lifetime to be honest the only thing that’s been slightly concerning is fron Vagner which I know he’s been in and out with some injuries here and there but for the most part with me it’s just the fact that he had such a good off season especially
Playing in the FBA tournament for team Germany that I think me and a lot of other people felt that he was going to take some big leap this season when in reality it’s it’s just been a smaller leap and you can’t really be too mad because the Orlando Magic continue to
Grow as a team and win more and more games but at the same time seeing fron Vagner shoot 29% from three on the season just it hurts the heart a little also just very quick you know thinking big picture if the magic do want to become a true contender in the coming
Years they’re going to need France Varner to take that leap at some point it’s perfectly fine that it’s not happening this season but if it doesn’t happen by the next couple of season but regardless that’s for the future today now in the present Paul banero continues to prove that he is here to
Stay and was the correct pick at number one for the Orlando Magic and his continued Improvement so far in the league has been very very exciting to watch that’s I got for this one as always if you enjoy make sure to like comment subscribe all those good things
