Paolo Banchero drops 50 points alongside Chet Holmgren in Crawsover Pro-Am

Orlando Magic rookie Paolo Banchero returned to his hometown on Saturday and put on a show, dropping 50 points in the annual Crawsover Pro-Am in Seattle, Washington.

Banchero teamed up with Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren in the contest as the two led the Sonics to a win over Ball is Life on the campus of Seattle Pacific University. Holmgren added 34 points, 14 rebounds and four blocked shots.

The No. 1 pick had everything working in the exhibition game, which was live-streamed on NBA.com. He got to the basket with ease and threw down a number of highlight-reel dunks, including a couple of rim-shaking slams that got the crowd on its feet.
