This college basketball season was a great one for names. My personal favorite is Leaky Black, and Chet Holmgren sounds like a 1940’s gumshoe, but for pure majesty, you can’t beat Paolo Napoleon James Banchero.
Paolo is a 6’10”, 250 lbs power forward who hails from Seattle, WA. According to Wikipedia.org, Banchero was a whopper of a baby, reaching three feet tall by 15 months. Credit goes to good genes: his mother is Rhonda Banchero, the all-time leading scorer for the Washington Huskies and an ex-WNBA hooper, and his father, Mario Banchero, was a Husky tight-end.
