Paolo Banchero Puts Up Career-High 42 Points
1 year agoOrlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero was on a roll against Cleveland on Wednesday and finished a 121-111 loss with a career-high 42 points on 16-for-26 shooting. Banchero's offensive game has been inconsistent throughout the season, but he certainly made up for it a bit with his performance on Wednesday. Defensively, Banchero contributed a pair of blocks, and he had six rebounds and one assist. Last year's Rookie of the Year has failed to take a step forward in 2023-24 and was even averaging fewer than 20 points per game ahead of Wednesday's action. But he's a solid contributor across multiple categories, and there's still plenty of time left in the season for Banchero to improve his production.
