Jeremy Reper-Imagn Images A new report makes a Paolo Banchero trade out of Orlando this summer seem a lot more likely. While the Orlando Magic star has not been the dominant force the team needs as a former No. 1 overall pick, the 23-year-old is still a very gifted player.
He showed that with his 38 and 45-point performances in their playoff series against the Detroit Pistons . However, there is no denying he has been the face of a team ousted in the first round in three straight seasons. As of now, head coach Jamahl Mosley is taking the blame after being fired on Monday .
However, an interesting report from ESPN NBA insiders Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst isn’t a good look for Banchero. “They’re kind of a mess. Their ceiling just isn’t very high with Paolo.
Their roster construction is just off,” an East scout said. “… Having him lead your team is tough to pull off. ” If scouts feel that way about Banchero, it’s possible Magic management feels the same, especially after they played well without him during the season.
