NBA Draft Scouting: Paolo Banchero

Physicals:

Height - 6’10

Weight - 250 lbs

Wingspan - 7’1

Banchero was the headlining star of Coach K’s final recruiting class at Duke. He was brought in to provide shot creation and rebounding. Banchero provided that in abundance at the collegiate level and led Duke to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.

All of that being said, Banchero is a polarising player to try and understand. His game has incredible highs but also crashing lows. Paolo is a refined, savvy creator on the ball who would be valuable for quite a few NBA teams.
