Paolo Banchero has not played a single game in the NBA, but he is already taking his first steps towards stardom.
After an impressive participation in the Summer League, Paolo has reached an agreement with Jordan Brand.
Orlando Magic No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero is finalizing an endorsement deal with Jordan Brand, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Of course, there is no telling how good Banchero will be. It’s too early to draw conclusions about his game.

But from what has been seen in the NCAA and even since he was selected No. 1 in the draft, the kid seems like a prospect with a great future who could become a star with the right attention. On his podcast, Warriors star Draymond Green spared no praise for the youngster, calling him a born winner.

The Orlando Magic are a franchise that is usually in the Eastern Conference bunker. Year after year, they play for the lottery and never seem to progress to being a true contender.
Paolo, if he becomes the player Draymond and others think he will be, could lead the Magic to better days. He could be the guy who changes the entire landscape of Orlando basketball.
On that, we will have to wait and see. But with this new endorsement from Jordan, you can bet he’ll join the likes of Ja Morant and Luka Doncic as one of the league’s standout young athletes.
