Paolo Banchero is the second teenager in NBA history to have 30+ PTS and 15+ REB in the same game. The first teenager? LeBron James.



LeBron had 33/16/7 at 18 years old and 334 days. LeBron’s longevity is unmatched.

    Just learning Banchero is not even 20 yet, wtf.

  2. preddevils6

    Coach K was really coasting there at the end.

    More Paolo stats to mend my heart after that buzzer beater

  4. Good_NewsEveryone

    How many pts and rebs did Albert Einstein have?

  5. Handyman2116

    I compared him to freaking Tobias Harris, how do I repent for my sins?

    Im rooting for jabari. I want him to be great and hopefully he will be. But just basing it off this start to the season, I can’t believe the magic ever humored anyone else with that #1 pick

  7. Magic just casually drafted a generational talent and we weren’t even sure he was the number 1 pick

    Paolo really generational. He was not like this at Duke tho wtf

    These up and coming first overall pick young players are so damn good. ANT – Cade – Paolo – Wembenyama (most likely) looks like they all have legit superstars ceilings and all star floors.

    Have to admit I was completely wrong about him. Didn’t think he would improve his ball skills as much as he did over the summer. Clearly deserved to be top pick. That said I wouldn’t compare him to LeBron beyond anything but his statline. He’s clearly a score first type of player, whereas LeBrons best skill as a rookie and even now is his court vision. Can’t really come up with a Paolo comparison actually, he seems pretty unique.

    LeBron was drafted 19 years after Jordan was drafted

    Paolo was drafted 19 years after LeBron was drafted

    Coincidence?

    I think not

  12. these titles always build up the new comer only to end it by heaping most of the praise on the last mentioned player

  13. swiftfix21

    Don’t Sully Paolos great efforts at this young age by comparing him to LeCap. Fuck Lebron and the horse he ran in on.

    Thunder fans…

    “Chet was the number 1 pick though”

    🙄
