2024 Fantasy Outlook
Banchero improved in multiple areas during Year 2, notably increasing his scoring production by becoming more efficient from deep and elevating his playmaking. However, both areas still need work, as he shot only 33.9 percent from deep and committed 3.1 turnovers to 5.4 assists per game. Banchero was named to his first All-Star team last season and has the makings of a superstar if he continues on this trajectory, but the team around him will also have to improve if he wants to reach that level. Franz Wagner is a solid No. 2, especially if he can bounce back from a bad three-point shooting season in 2023-24. In the frontcourt, Jonathan Isaac and Wendell Carter have struggled to stay healthy, while Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony and Gary Harris have provided inconsistent production in the backcourt. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope replaced Markelle Fultz, and the sharpshooting veteran should be a great addition to a team that shot 30.9 percent from deep last season. If the pieces around Banchero can be more consistent, the 6-foot-10 point forward could flirt with an All-NBA nomination. Read Past Outlooks

Struggles with foul trouble in loss
Banchero ended Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 19 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Banchero took a seat after drawing his fifth foul in the third quarter, and the Magic fell out of contention while he sat for the remainder of the stanza. The Magic were unable to recover from the third-quarter beatdown, and Banchero's numbers suffered as a result. The third-year pro appeared in only 46 regular-season games after solid attendance over his first two seasons, but he averaged career highs in points (25.9) and rebounds (7.5) despite the many absences.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The top pick from the 2022 draft took down Rookie of the Year honors, and it wasn't really close. Despite some midseason struggles, Banchero averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. Those are remarkable averages from a rookie, but that looks like his floor going forward. The versatile forward shot just 43 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range, and we have to anticipate those averages rising in his sophomore season. It was also encouraging to see the Rookie of the Year post a 27.5 percent usage rate because he could get above 30 percent this season. Orlando is one of the worst rosters in the NBA, and Banchero can run the show with how much talent he possesses. A spike in assists should be on the horizon, along with his shooting averages, especially since we saw Paolo provide 4.6 assists across the final month of last year.
