Duke Recruit Paolo Banchero Shines At The Iverson Classic

Covid-19 just ruins everything and while high school All-Star events are pretty far down the line in importance, it still stinks that most of them were canceled.

Not the Iverson Classic though and Duke-bound Paolo Banchero did very well there. Perhaps a bit surprisingly, Banchero, one of the bigger players in the event, won the one-on-one competition.

Not too long ago, Banchero was a 6-8, 225 lb. forward with all-around skills. Now? He’s a 6-11, 250 lb. big who has lost none of his skills.

We linked a bunch of videos below for you to browse through but we want to show you two specific plays that hint at an improvisational ability you don’t often see in guys his size.
