The opening possession of the Paolo Banchero era went well.
The No. 1 pick intercepted a pass and went coast-to-coast for the lay-in, giving him his first bucket against an NBA team.
But that would be the only lead of the game for the Orlando Magic as they dropped their preseason opener to the Memphis Grizzlies, 109-97.
Like the majority of a Magic team that is still shaking off the rust, Banchero struggled with his efficiency and ball protection.
He had eight points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and four turnovers in 24 minutes.
