The Orlando Magic are building a strong roster ahead of the NBA regular season. After a preseason in which they secured a final victory with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/paolo-banchero">Paolo Banchero</a> as the key player, the Magic have now confirmed a major move.



According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/orlando-magic">Magic</a> have signed Jalen Suggs, a standout rookie guard who was part of the 2024 NBA All-Defensive team, to a long-term extension. This move will provide additional support to Banchero and bolster the team’s chances of starting the season on a strong note.



“Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs has agreed to a five-year, $150.5 million rookie contract extension with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. Massive new deal for the 2024 NBA All-Defensive team member,” Charania shared on his X account (formerly Twitter).



After delivering strong performances over the last three seasons, Suggs is set to remain with the Magic for another five years, continuing to wear the #4 jersey. This extension ends speculation about a potential departure, solidifying Suggs as a key part of Orlando’s future for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba">NBA</a> regular season.

<h2>Suggs stats in three seasons with the Magic</h2>



Four years ago, Suggs made his debut with the Orlando Magic, and since then, he has steadily contributed to the team’s growth. Over the course of 176 games played, Suggs has averaged 4.1 field goals per game, with a 3-point shooting percentage of .333, and an average of 11.5 points per game. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nba/nba-news-mavs-teammate-kyrie-irving-makes-something-clear-about-klay-thompson"></div>


In the last playoffs, Suggs emerged as one of the key players for the Magic alongside Paolo Banchero. Suggs started all 7 playoff games, where he averaged 4.7 field goals per game, shot 29.2% from beyond the arc, grabbed an impressive 5.1 rebounds per game, and scored 14.7 points on average.



His consistent performance on both ends of the floor has made him an integral part of the Magic’s roster, culminating in his recent contract extension and solidifying his place as a key player for the franchise moving forward.

Others, like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-News-LeBron-James-clinches-record-that-neither-Kobe-nor-Dirk-could-20221219-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kobe Bryant</a> and Dirk Nowitzki, needed more time to establish themselves.
That just proves that there’s not a single path to success or the Hall of Fame. And that coaches and fans need to be patient before stating that a player will be a superstar or a bust after just one season.
But if we were to judge some players by what we’ve seen early in their careers, then I think we could all agree that they look quite promising. At least, this is what we think of these three <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-News-Paolo-Banchero-ties-up-Michael-Jordans-rookie-record-20221211-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">young studs.</a>
<h2>NBA Rumors: Top 3 Candidates For Rookie Of The Year</h2>
<h3>3. Jabari Smith Jr</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221231_BUS_209994_jabari_smith_jr.jpg_22993414_fbe8416a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Jabari Smith Jr – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Jabari Smith Jr’s career got off to a slow and somewhat disappointing start. But just like the Houston Rockets, the rookie power forward has turned the corner and is showing flashes of his true potential.
Smith can shoot lights out from all over the court. He also has the makings of an elite rim protector and rebounder. He just needs to work on his handles and decision-making, especially as a finisher.
<h3>2. Paolo Banchero</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221231_BUS_209994_paolo_banchero.jpg_22993414_d13702a1.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Paolo Banchero – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Paolo Banchero would be leading the Rookie of the Year race if it wasn’t for an injury. Even so, he’s been so impressive that some believe he should get an All-Star nod, becoming the first rookie to do so since Blake Griffin.
Banchero is an elite playmaker and passer already. He’s also an outstanding rebounder on both ends of the floorand an offensive juggernaut who can get his shot off anytime, anywhere, and against anybody.
<h3>1. Bennedict Mathurin</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221231_BUS_209994_bennedict_mathurin_x1x.jpg_22993414_65e4eb9d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Bennedict Mathurin – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Bennedict Mathurin is the steal of the Draft, and it’s not even close. He’s reeking of confidence, and why not? The guy can literally score over anybodyand is making NBA veteran defenders look foolish.
Mathurin is perhaps the best shooter in his class. The Indiana Pacers are already drawing sets for him, and he continues to make defenses pay with his unmatched shot-making ability. This young man could even win the Sixth Man of the Year award.

With only21 games played, he already has clinched or tied up many NBA records. Also, his performance on the court resembles to many when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-paolo-banchero-resembles-lebron-james-and-kareem-abdul-jabbar-in-his-debut--20221020-0050.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-paolo-banchero-overtakes-the-15-year-kevin-durants-major-rookie-milestone-20221026-0055.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Durant</a> made their debut season.
Despite his most recent competitorChet Holgrem isn’t playingthis current season, there are other rookies in the NBA who are competing against him for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-paolo-banchero-and-leading-candidates-for-rookie-of-the-year-20221103-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rookie of Year award</a>. However, still for many analysts, the20-year-old is leading the race for that individual award.
As a player in a team who’s goal isn’t making it to the NBA Playoffs, Banchero has been leading their score sheet for quite a while already. However, the Orlando Magic know how important his performances are to the project of building up a championship-contender team.
<h2>Paolo Banchero ties up Michael Jordan’s record as a rookie</h2>
According toESPN Stats &amp; Info, “Paolo Banchero has 15 games with 20 points this season.The last two players to score 20+ points in 15 of their first 20 games of a career were,Zion Williamsonin the 2019-20, andMichael Jordanin the 1984-85 season.
As the games passed, Banchero is getting more comfortable on the court. In fact, in the last Magic winover the Toronto Raptors, Banchero pulled up 20 points with 12 rebounds. To be His 16th game with at least 20 points in the back-to-back game.

However, there are another players such as BennedictMathurin, who is also raising his hand.

It’s a good way to watch one of the most promising stars fulfilling the expectations, as the other one in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/5-nba-rookies-to-shine-in-the-nba-2022-23-season-20220718-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 NBA Draft </a>Class, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-the-thunders-plan-after-chet-holmgrens-season-ending-injury-20221016-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chet Holgrem</a> couldn’t do it due to aseason-ending injury. That’s why these type of players are good to the league, because they deliver the unexpected, sometimes. However, this doesn’t mean his career will be successful.
In fact, this milestone just means he is performing as theOrlando Magicare expecting, becauseat this time, the rebuilding project is more important than anything. In fact, some analysts and reporters are starting a possible tanking rumor for them. However, it won’t be seen until the regular season is over.
<h2>NBA News: Paolo Banchero clinches a new record as a rookie</h2>
Paolo Banchero is starting a new week in the NBA as aproved talent after a huge start. As theholder of the No.1 pick overall in the 2022 NBA Draft,Banchero got his first six games with 20+ points each, which made him one of the top talents in the current season to watch. However, it was only the beginning.
Since the 1999-2000 NBA Season, only three NBA rookieshave pulled up more than 140 points in their first seven NBA regular-seasongames. Those players Kevin Durant with 152 points as a Seattle Supersonics’ player, and Brandon Jennings as a Milwaukee Bucks’ player with 179 points, who holds the record.

<h2>NBA News: Paolo Banchero overtakes Kevin Durant in a major rookie milestone</h2>
During his first official week as anNBA player, Paolo Banchero has proved himself to others that he was the right holder for the No.1 pick overall in the 2022 NBA Draft. In fact, Banchero currently got his first five games with 20+ points each, and was the 7th player to do so, but it was the youngest as a 19-year and 11 months old NBA player.
However, that’s only the beginning of this story. In the first 22 NBA seasons of this century, only three NBA rookies pulled up more than 100 points in their first 5 NBA games. Those players were Dajuan Wagner with 104 points as a Cleveland Cavaliers’ player in the 2002-2003 season,Kendrick Nunn with 112 points as a Miami Heat’s player, and Kevin Durant with 113 points as a Seattle Supersonics’ player.

When the 2022 NBA Draft happened, everyone was surprised by the No.1 overall pick, which landed with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/paolo-bancheros-profile-age-height-parents-and-ncaa-stats-20220622-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paolo Banchero</a>selected by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/how-much-money-will-paolo-banchero-make-on-his-rookie-contract-with-the-orlando-magic-20220623-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Orlando Magic</a>. Since that moment, all the NBA world wanted was to watch him in an official NBA game. After the game, his performanceresembledtwo great players who performed like him in his debut night, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-lebron-james-makes-a-big-request-to-anthony-davis-20220929-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
With that performance made by Banchero, time will tell if he will live up to the expectations, or be like many huge rookies that couldn’t. For example,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-kemba-walker-and-former-all-stars-forced-to-stop-playing-ahead-of-the-2022-23-season-20221009-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Carter-Williams</a>, who made an astonishing debut night performance with thePhiladelphia 76ers as he pulled up 22 points in 2014.
In the mean time, its safe to say that Paolo Banchero will be a top contenderfor the Rookie of Year award, as his fellow class member <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-the-thunders-plan-after-chet-holmgrens-season-ending-injury-20221016-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chet Holmgren</a> had a season-ending injury that left him out of his first-year in the National Basketball Association.
<h2>NBA News: Paolo Banchero resembles LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his NBA debut</h2>
Wednesday October 19, 2022 will be remembered as the date which the No.1 pick overall of the 2022 NBA Draft, Paolo Banchero made his official NBA debut. It hasn’t full 24 hours since then, and is already making a huge impact. As Banchero pulled up 27 points to pass up LeBron James with 25 points, in most points for an NBA debutant.
In fact, Banchero will go down in NBA history, as the third rookie with most points in his official debut. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who pulled up 27 points with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969, and Maurice Stokes who put up 32 points with the extinct Rochester Royals, against the New York Knicksin 1955 have scored more points than him, according to the specialized site StatMuse.
As he was leaving the building after the game, Banchero talked with the NBA. “It’s a blessing, me being me. I felt like I could have had 30 (points) something. I missed a bunch of layups, but I am blessed. Thanked for my teammates, and excited to get my NBA journey start off in a good note.” said the 19-year-old in a nervous voice.

Some young players are better suited for the pros than others. That’s why just a handful of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-paolo-banchero-overtakes-the-15-year-kevin-durants-major-rookie-milestone-20221026-0055.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA rookies</a> dominate right out of the gate, whereas others need more time. That doesn’t make them better; <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/how-jim-buss-nearly-destroyed-kobe-bryant-legacy-with-the-los-angeles-lakers-20221014-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kobe Bryant</a>, Kevin Garnett, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/udonis-haslem-and-the-nba-players-who-have-playedat-least-20-seasons-with-only-one-franchise-20220821-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dirk Nowitzki</a> were all late bloomers.
But watching youngsters handle themselves like stars in their first year in the league is sure an encouraging sign. We’ve seen guys like LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who have thrived since day one.
With that in mind, we’ll take a look a the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-paolo-banchero-clinches-a-new-record-as-a-rookie-20221030-0050.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top three rookies</a> who have impressed us the most after a couple of weeks. They could still be outplayed by some of their classmates, though, so they better keep this up.
<h2>NBA Rumors: Top 3 Candidates To Win Rookie Of The Year</h2>
<h3>3. Jaden Ivey</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221020_BUS_203172_jaden_ivey.jpg_22993414_f0478452.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Jaden Ivey – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Jaden Ivey is perhaps the most athletic player in his class. There were some doubts about his decision-making, shot selection, and jump shot, but he’s put those doubts at ease throughout his first career starts.
Ivey can push up the pace like the best of them, and he’s done a solid job of taking care of the ball. He’s averaging15.7 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.7 apg and looks like a perfect fit next to Cade Cunningham.
<h3>2. Bennedict Mathurin</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221020_BUS_203172_bennedict_mathurin.jpg_22993414_f9bc1b17.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Bennedict Mathurin – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Bennedict Mathurin’s confidence is through the roof, and no wonder why. The sixth-overall pick has been on an offensive tear since the Summer League, and he could be a legit candidate to win Sixth Man of the Year.
Mathurin can score from all three levels, torching opposing defenses for20.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 2.1 apg. It’s just a matter of time before he plays his way into the starting lineup, as he’s already the best scorer in the Indiana Pacers.
<h3>1. Paolo Banchero</h3>

</div>
Paolo Banchero going first overall was somewhat surprising, but he’s done more than enough to justify that. He’s been a walking bucket, and his playmaking and rebounding skills are just remarkable for a first-year player.
The Orlando Magic sure knows how to make the most of those first-overall picks. And even though they have yet to translate that into multiple wins, his averages of21.8 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 3.6 apg are something else.

Luka Doncic and Trae Young are two recent examples of that trend. They didn’t need a lot of time before showcasing their skills, and they continue to get better as two of the league’s rising stars.
Notably, this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-teams-most-likely-to-get-victor-wembanyama-in-the-nba-draft-20221006-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA Draft</a> class also features plenty of intriguing talents. And even though they may not be as good as Doncic and Young were right away, they’ll still make some noise. Check out the top 3 leading candidates to win ROY.
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Leading Candidates To Win Rookie Of The Year</h2>
<h3>3. Bennedict Mathurin</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221020_BUS_203172_bennedict_mathurin.jpg_22993414_cd29f61e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Bennedict Mathurin – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Bennedict Mathurin wasn’t a top-5 pick, but his confidence is at an all-time high anyway. He took 7’3” Kristaps Porzingis to the rim in his very first official NBA play, putting him in a poster and proving that he can score like the best of them.
Mathurin has already made a big splash off the bench for the Indiana Pacers. He’s knocking down shots from all three levels at an impressive pace, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see him end on top of the ROY race at the end of the year.
<h3>2. Jabari Smith Jr.</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221020_BUS_203172_jabari_smith_jr.jpg_22993414_56ed44cb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Jabari Smith Jr. – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Most insiders and analysts predicted Jabari Smith Jr. to be the first-overall pick this year. He’ll play with a chip on his shoulder after falling to the third spotand he’s got the skill set to be a Hall of Famer once it’s all said and done.
Smith Jr. has a strap for an arm. He can knock down shots from downtown like a shooting guard, and has the potential to be an elite inside-out defender as well. The Houston Rockets will give him as many shots as he can handle.
<h3>1. Paolo Banchero</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221020_BUS_203172_paolo_banchero_x1x.jpg_22993414_294a6b6e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Paolo Banchero – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Paolo Banchero had one of the most impressive NBA debuts of all time, putting up 27 points with 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals on 11/18 shooting. That was just a glimpse of what he’s capable of doing on a nightly basis.
Banchero was the most NBA-ready prospect in his class. He’s got the handles and playmaking skills of a guard, and a beautiful, efficient shooting stroke. The Orlando Magic may have finally found their franchise cornerstone.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/how-much-money-will-paolo-banchero-make-on-his-rookie-contract-with-the-orlando-magic-20220623-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paolo Banchero</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/atlanta-hawks-dejounte-murray-on-playing-with-trae-young-20220725-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dejounte Murray</a> made all the headlines throughout the weekend, but not for the best reasons. They shared the floor in a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-demar-derozan-among-the-nba-all-stars-who-have-played-in-the-drew-league-20220717-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pro-Am tournament</a> and got quite chippy on social media afterward.
Murray— a regular participant in these tournaments— threw a nice dunk over the reigning first-overall pick. It was a regular basketball play, andshouldn’t have led to a virtual beef, but it did.
Banchero took to Instagram to claim that Murray had unfollowed him and asked him to ‘guard up.’ The Atlanta Hawks guard didn’t care for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/paolo-bancheros-profile-age-height-parents-and-ncaa-stats-20220622-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Banchero’s comments</a> and went back at him and told him to stay humble.
<h2>NBA News: Paolo Banchero, Dejounte Murray Trade Jabs On Social Media</h2>

“Unfollowed me on the gram and everything huh, it must be personal. That’s fine, just make sure you guard up next time and stop sending doubles family,” the first-overall pick wrote on his Instagram story without mentioning Murray.
“You tried to flex that No. 1 pick s*it on me when I been rooting for you when you was a kid asking to rebound for me. Don’t get on this Internet and start saying nothing… You changed from the humble kid you always was and I stand on real shit boy… You made it and changed and I lost all respect. Stay humble. This life you in now is real and ain’t no joke. I still want to see you win cause that’s who I am,” Murray replied.
“Same humble kid always vouched for you bro. Don’t switch the narrative for the internet,” Banchero wrote in a follow-up Story.

Banchero grew up in Seattle just like Murray, so the story adds up. Murray has had some character issues in the past, so maybe it was his rage talking for him. Whatever the case, we cannot wait to watch these two go at it next season.

Paolo Banchero's Profile: Age, height, parents and NCAA stats

Paolo Banchero's Profile: Age, height, parents and NCAA stats - Bolavip US

According to multiple scout reports, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/why-is-chet-holmgren-considered-a-better-pick-than-paolo-banchero-20220530-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paolo Banchero</a> has an advanced skill level. In fact, it is reported that Banchero isthe modern-day 4 type of player among the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-draft-2022-top-3-candidates-for-first-overall-pick-20220518-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 NBA Draft Class</a>. Meaning he has the ability to handle the ball, shoot from three and make the plays. He is even compared to<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-julius-randle-to-force-a-trade-out-of-knicks-20220330-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julius Randle</a>.
Among the power foward players in the pool of the 2022 NBA Draft, Banchero is ranked 2nd placejust behind Jabari Smith. This is surprising because Banchero has played just one season in Duke. However, in his rookie season, Banchero impressed everyone with his one-on-one scoring ability, driving and finishing inside play-set.
In addition, hisathleticism and physicality makes him a dynamic player, but he may have to work more in his timing. According to many reports, Banchero is a consistent shooter either by getting the ball directly to the rim or going after an open player.
<h2>HowPaolo Bancheroplays?</h2>
Paolo Banchero averaged 17 points, 3 assists and 7 rebounds per game in the 2021-22 NCAA season. He got the Duke Blue Devils as far as the Final Four but fell short against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Even for his size, at 6 feet and 10 inches tall his stats are much above-the-average among those players.
Although, Banchero has his size to his advantage on the offensive end, while on the other side of the court, he doesn’t offer much rim protection and his awareness of the rival offensive players. This all according to multiple scouting reports. So, if Bancheroreally makes it to the NBA, he has a lot of potential. However, he must work on his weaknesses to perform as expected.

And now that we knowthe lottery order, we can finally update our Mock Drafts.
Drafting isn’t an exact science. Plenty of things can go wrong when we look at projections, asmany intangiblesjust can’t be measured by scouts. That includes work ethic, determination, and even luck.
This will be an eye-of-the-beholder Draft. There’s plenty of talent, but most players come with obvious risk as well. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the top three prospects that should draw strong consideration to be the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-draft-the-5-worst-first-overall-picks-in-history-20201105-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-overall pick.</a>
<h2>NBA Draft 2022: Top 3 Candidates To Be The 1st-Overall Pick</h2>
<h3>3. Jabari Smith</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

</div>
College: Auburn, Freshman Position: PF Age: 19 Stats: 16.9 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.1 SPG, 1.0 BPG, 42.9% FG, 42.0% 3FG
Jabari Smith is tailor-made for today’s NBA. He’s an elite shooter from all three levels, is a gifted athlete who can play above or below the rim, and he can play and guard both forward positions and even some small-ball center.
He might be the best scorer in this class, and his game translates perfectly to the pros. On the downside, he could improve as a ball-handler to create his own shot, but he’s already an impactful defender and impressive shot-maker.
<h3>2. Paolo Banchero</h3>

</div>
College: Duke, Freshman Position: PF Age: 19 Stats: 17.2 PPG, 6.1 RPG, 3.2 APG, 1.1 SPG, 47.8% FG, 33.8% 3FG
Paolo Banchero was considered the best prospect in this class, and he proved why when he led Duke deep into the NCAA Tourney. He’s got the ball-handling and playmaking skills of a guard and the body of a power forwad, a rare combinationperfect for today’s game.
All things considered, Banchero could be the best passer in this class, which is remarkable at 6’10”. He can make shots from all over the floor and has quick hands in passing lanes. Butthen again, his defense is still a big question mark.
<h3>1. Chet Holmgren</h3>

</div>
College: Gonzaga, Freshman Position: PF/C Age: 20 Stats: 14.1 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 1.9 APG, 3.7 BPG, 60.7% FG, 39.0% 3FG
Chet Holmgren is the most intriguing prospect we’ve seen in years. He’s got the potential to be a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate. He’s long, got great instincts, and was the finest rim protector in the nation by a long stretch.
Holmgren has dominated at every stage of his development thus far. He’s an elite outside shooter, a willing passer, and an intelligentplayer. But he’s just 195 pounds despite being 7’1” with a 7’6” wingspan. How will his body hold up? How much will he struggle against stronger, more physical big men?
