During the Orlando Magic’s Summer League debut last year, all eyes were on Paolo Banchero.
Of course, they were. And going up against the Houston Rockets, Banchero delivered a performance that previewed his dominance for his rookie year. He did not disappoint.
It was clear very early on in that Summer League run that Banchero was ready for the challenge of the NBA and that he would not get a whole lot from playing much more in Summer League.
That game saw the best of one of the other young players on the Magic. The attention Banchero got was something fellow rookie Caleb Houstan soaked up completely.
