People keep saying Wembanyama is the future of the NBA, but don't sleep on this kid cause in the next few years he could very well become the main face of the league.
I told so many ppl in my circle about this guy from his college games and now he's ROTY. He's got such a high ceiling. He's so lucky to have been able to watch all the greats before him to emulate them
Banchero and Franz wil be the next One-Two-Punch and it´s gonna be fun. Two 6´9/6´10 guys that can handle the ball and score must be a nightmare to defend I imagine
@@AlphaDesperateForFunds bigger frame tighter handle, he could be like a more athletic julius randle that’s a better decision maker, lowkey a walmart lebron lol
Pretty crazy to see a dude legitimately win the award the first night of the season and then proceed to hold off the field for 81 more games. Kid is special.
@@themack5131 him and lebron have basically the same play style tho and I would say Paolo had a way better rookie season considering numbers and team accolades
Wemby who? Banchero’s game is a lot more to be desired. I see this kid winning an NBA championship with the right team in maybe 5-6 years if he continues to elevate his game and reach his maximum potential as a hooper.
This kid was a huge shock to me and def has top 5 in the league potential along with guys like Wemby, Anthony edwards, luka (already there), Tatum . Of course guys like jokic and Gianni’s will be there for awhile
@@t20981hell no. While Tatum wasn’t as special going into the NBA. He was overlooked for being on a pretty good Celtics team which didn’t need to depend on their new rookie to win games. Ben Simmons wins ROY and D. Mitchell 2nd. But Tatum goes into the playoffs and shines in the clutch. Taking over when no one else can score, eventually, being tasked with the matchup of Lebron James and holding his own, dunking on him and giving him a bump to say I can take you on. After that playoff series it was clear that while Tatum didn’t have the stats to win roy in the reg season. He was the best player in the draft/rookie. Paulo was easily the best rookie by far in his class but other than him it’s pretty bad. When he played Tatum he got his #s been ran away from the mismatch. He’ll be a good all star but MVP caliber like Tatum? Nah
@@AirCheco2345 but Tatum has not been an MVP calibre player as of now. He hasn't finished top 3 yet with a very good team. Let's see him in the top 3 one year before we call him an MVP calibre player.
@@t20981 It’s not that deep bro. Would you call Kd 7 foot ass an MVP caliber player right now? Yes. Tatum…gives that man 40pts + in the playoffs on the daily. And Giannis? He gave that man 50 and sent him to Cancun. It’s not all about these Bs reg MVP awards. Shoot…Embiid won it and he was a fraud. Tatum is MVP “calibre”
@@AirCheco2345 Tatum has had the best roster by far in the last 4 years and hasn't won a title yet. Flamed out miserably in the finals last year. He has been very good and has the talent to be MVP calibre but isn't there yet
Pretty crazy how many young high prospects the magic have. Paulo looks like a legit first pick but they also have a rising fultz and tons of athletic players like Cole Anthony and Suggs as well as a potential X factor type player in Bol Bol. It would be great to see this franchise become a contender with these young guys
His post work and dunks are impressive, definitely needs to be a little more explosive off the dribble and tighten up the jumper he will be unstoppable
With this size and length explosiveness won’t matter he paces the defense with his shifty footwork which shows massive maturity on offense he’s not relying on athleticism
We all see it bro, his size, strength and ability, mirror Lebrons. He just doesn’t have the speed and athleticism of Lebron.. But his skill set at 19 might be a lil more polished than Lebron’s, for example footwork and post game.
I don't mean to disrespect LeBron legacy but i can see him become mini LeBron in 3-4 years. He's complete but not really as athletic and fast as LeBron.

Right behind Anthony Edwards

Paolo Banchero definitely deserves rookie of the year, he is a very great player!
It reminds me 2 yrs ago he ranked lower than Emoni Bates...
Lucky Shaedon Sharpe didnt play the whole season!
@@miketyson8933sound like a dumbass
@@miketyson8933 😂 here we go. he could’ve played but the winner would still be paolo
You know what, you need to shut your mouth. You’re a complete idiot who knows nothing.
Paolo Banchero's playing style is really mature
Paolo can legitimately be the best player in the NBA by the time he’s 27-28.
So does that mean my RC auto 2023 card will be worth thousands 😅🎉😂❤
Paolo Banchero future superstar this league
His pace is crazy for his size fs💯
this is a teenager, imagine him 5 years later🤯
He will be slower and more injuries

he’s crazy strong. plays that bully ball to perfection.

Congatulations for rookie award. Palulo Banchero plays like a GOAT. He put in the effort every play he plays. Dominating every game he plays.
Congrats young man, well deserved.
He really look like a young LeBron
Exactly but slightly less skill and athleticism
Mark my words in 2026 this guy will be an mvp contender
Agree on that. I'm seeing a combination of Giannis and Lebron in him. Relentess in attacking the basket but controlled.
Let’s go Paolo is amazing!
Best all around rookie I have ever seen.
you must be 12
@@MuckNoyayou must be 8
I wouldnt say ever cause lebron. But he is extremely developed for a rookie, his potential is crazy.

Great handles for a dude his size.

People sleeping on Tyrese, Fox and Brunson too
We knew he was destined for this the moment he left Duke 💯 Congrats Paolo one of the greatest players to come out of Duke
Is he better prospect than Tatum was when came out of college?

Didn’t include Franz ? How come
We know why Franz wasn't included. Typical.
All NBA next year
This dude is gonna be crazy in his prime
My new favorite player for sure! 5!
When it comes to cooking Gordon is an absolute expert at roasting literally anyone for the flaws in their approach to it’s
Well deserved
Banchero has a very bright future, star forward the magic has been in need of all these years
WELL DESERVED
He moves like Giannis without travel and carry! Build a team around Banchero! That is a future 6x nba champ.
as a magic fan i say this a lot but THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT 😭
amen 😭
He's great
If only this man played for a bigger market team. I hate the fact that no one talked about him. He had a craaazy rookie year. .
If magic reach playoffs.. banchero could very well gain hype.
@@johnnydenmark6477 He definitely didn't disappoint in his rookie season
Magic players ain’t fussed on media attention, all very grounded and humble
I'm a magic fan, and this guy is the best talent we've had since T-Mac
@@Samkonia4728I don’t know bout that probably the best since D12 no offense though

This season is so great
Soon to be top of the league. Dude a beast
Very good player
He lived up to the hype
He Is An Amazing Basketball Player
A Monster
Huge huge huge upside for this young man, his ability to run the floor and handle the rock with his size is DANGER!!!
This boy was cooking am gsw fan
He got better and better throughout the season, partly because of his discipline with his diet and conditioning. Yes, I'm looking at you Luka.
Congratulations
He is going to be dangerous
You can't teach 6'10" 250 🔥💪
Lets Goooooooo!!!!!!!
Future Super Star!!!
That boy good
Bien merecido el premio 🏆
Future MVP
Now that's a real phenom. I still think Webanyama's been too hyped up.
this is my boy
Most under appreciated rookie in NBA history media only cared about Wemby the next year smh
Banchero reminds me of LeBron in the future.
He definitely reminds me of LeBron too
@@OreoSponge exactly.
I didnt know he was 6'10
Hes posterizing people thru traffic!
I thought he was only like 6'5
All star next year
Agree
Paolo is faaaaaast , grandeeee
He’s so physical, babying grown men as a rookie
27 and 9 rb next year
I also deserved a ROTY and MVP

Definitely one of the rookies of all time 🔥
Paolo plays like a grown man
Talk about Penny and Nick Era part 2, they might get Wembanayana
Wembanayana is okay, nothing special, but if they get Wembanyama they’ll be even better!

Caleb Houstan😤
I don't mean to disrespect LeBron legacy but i can see him become mini LeBron in 3-4 years. He's complete but not really as athletic and fast as LeBron.
Remember who his goat is 👀🐐
He can play as SF, while Bol can do PF, then they need another 7 footer for the Main Center.
The first play today was called offensive foul on Morant against LeBron.
7:08 look familiar almost like the play that got the lakers in the playoffs 😅
That kids gonna be a Monster!!!
This young latino kid is hugee
His mom is black, and his dad is Italian.
The kings was a contender this year and the Rook was a major part of that . I dunno about this
You do know. Stop lying to yourself. Murray's a roleplayer.
I be diming this dude up in mycareer
This kid can block Mobley 😅
He's 6'10 of course he can play defense Mobley is only a inch or 2 taller than him
