Paolo Banchero isn’t a new name for NBA Draft nuts. In fact, the baby-faced assassin was the No. 2 pick in ESNY’s first 2022 NBA Mock Draft. Banchero is the next one-and-done Duke Blue Devil on track to become a star at the next level.
There are areas for Banchero to improve, but it almost feels like nitpicking after a full-on examination of his game. He’s the most polished offensive player in the draft and is a lock to go in the top five.
Will the New York Knicks be there to take him?
