Many people have many questions about Paolo Banchero.
Most of them are unfair. Most of them come from statistics or want to repeat tired topics that criticize this 22-year-old striker in his career so early.
Bancherero’s fights, after missing two months with a torn diagram, only confirmed what many of his critics said and believed about him. It doesn’t matter that this was a core injury that held him from training in any function for a few weeks, and he admitted that he was still working in shape.
Banchero’s game since the All-Star break continues to lead to an inevitable conclusion: Banchero will be one of the best players in this league.
But this kind of players, because as incredible as their awards are due to the profit and how they affect profit. With the direct comparison with another young player who gives a superstar declaration, Banchero is still learning lessons.
Anthony Edwards took over Frida’s game with five quick points and contributed to a further number of points as part of a crucial 9-0 run for the Minnesota Timberwolves at the end of the fourth quarter. Banchero missed twice between these recordings to tear the wolves for a magical loss of 118-111.
Banchero scored 43 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter. His heroic deeds and its performance should not be released or discredited. But Edwards with his 28 points won the day. Edwards was the one who took over when the game was at stake.
Banchero measure in a battle of two superstars. But he and his team still knocked on the door, just to find that it was closed.
“I think we have just been neglected,” said Banchero after the loss on Friday. “We have run a good fight and took some good runs throughout the game and gave us the chance to win. They only played more than we did.”
On a tear
Paolo Banchero wore the team throughout the game and scored 43 points to 16 for 32 shots and added 9 shots from the foul line for a good level.
For a magical team that was no longer offensive or that many offensive players were missing, Banchero pushed the team downhill and created the heaviness to try to find something. The magic did not work on the floor without a bancher.
Banchero has continued to tear since the All-Star break.
Since the break, he has achieved an average of 29.8 points per game, second in the league. It was also fatally efficient and shot 48.8 percent of the ground and 35.5 percent of three. His 60.5 percent true shooting share with a usage rate of 33.1 percent indicates his limitless ceiling.
The only thing missing in Banchero’s Star Creation since the break is the victories.
This type of game comes with responsibility. It is his decision -making process that makes her victories and losses and his shot. The ball is in its hands.
The next step
The Orlando Magic scored an offensive wall at the beginning of the fourth quarter and gave up a 13-2 run, which in the middle of the fourth quarter went back by five points. But they recovered and gathered enough to connect the game with 3:30 a.m. to 3:30.
Then Edwards took over the work. He killed a screen and recorded his dribble, but Wendell Carter was late to climb and change. Cory Joseph was shortened to bring a hand and give Wendell Carter time to retreat. But he was still late and Edwards broke the draw with three.
Banchero tried to answer the next possession with one of his own pull-up pull-up, but missed. Edwards got the ball for the wolves and attacked Carter, ending him for a hard layup and a five-point lead. Banchero tried to answer Rudy Gobert with his own layup, but could not end the former defender of the year.
The Minnesota Timberwolves essentially published the game with an Edwards that missed three, which were reduced by Julius Randle. It was a 7-0 run at the wrong time.
Edwards made the pieces. Banchero not. So many games are decided between two star players.
“You have two boys who go to Toe toe in this way, Big Shot, who has to be made, a big stop that has to be made,” said coach Jamahl Mosley after the defeat on Friday. “The back and forth fight between two boys who are at a high level. Superstar status in many ways that they have to give their hat to these boys to do what they can do in the basketball court and can continue to raise their team and provide them with electricity.”
Banchero would not have it any other way and this team wouldn’t. The ball must be in Bancherero’s hands and the magic can take tight losses when it is their two star players who make these decisions.
You will learn that – how to choose the right moments that you can take over and the kind of shots that the team needs in these moments. The results are important at this time of year and for a player of Bancheros caliber. For this reason, he still has to learn.
But Banchero still tends to return to these habits for which he criticizes so many. He chose Jumper instead of forcing himself into the line or forcing Rudy Gobert, throwing off or protecting to open shooters.
Where is the help?
The problem remains that Orlando Magic cannot trust anyone who scores late in the games. Not in the same way as they could at the beginning of the season when Paolo Bangero Anthony Black brought up for critical three in his 50-point game against the Indiana Pacers. The magic fell so much into the overall ranking because they have lost this trust and faith.
Banchero scored 32 of the team’s 89 field goals. And he had to take over the number of points that the magic prepared to stay in the game after the 9-0 boost of the wolves in order to regain the lead with 11 points in the last 1:52.
This is always the problem. The magic is looking for offensive and often struggles to find it and puts all responsibility on Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner (16 points for 4-to-16 shooting).
The biggest thing that Bancherero might think of the superstar at the moment is the side line -up that tries to make an external shot and to provide an outcome or relief.
“It makes it easier for everyone,” said Caleb Houstan after the loss on Friday. “The whole defense watches him. There are guys like more open recordings. What he is able to go downhill or shoot is something very special.”
Houstan scored six of the 12 3 points of magic in the game-and Magic Shot 12 for 28 (42.9 percent). His three-point sayings helped the magic to achieve a lead of nine points for the fourth quarter and to stay in the game during the second time.
But shooting quickly dried out in the fourth quarter. Orlando lost the quarter 40-24, achieved only 10 out of 24 field goals and misses all five 3 points. Banchero achieved 17 of these 24th in the end there was not enough insult to maintain in the end.
Orlando is still fighting to solve the problems of his crime. The team receives red alarms to make sensible improvements in the low season.
The greatest cooperation of the last 10 games is what Banchero has done since the break and how he has brought himself back into the right course. He is a superstar who is good enough to bring teams to relevance and competitiveness.
If he’s not there yet, he clearly knocks on the door of something really great.
