The Italian-American winger Paolo Bancherowho plays in Orlando, was elected on Tuesday “rookie” of the season, confirming his status as N.1 of the last draft after a successful first season in the NBA.
Banchero got 98 out of 100 votes for the top spot in this ranking, when voting for the best young player after an inaugural exercise. The 20-year-old averaged 20 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists, playing a key role in rebuilding the Magic, a team that had long been in the abyss of the standings and showed its best by finishing in 13th position in the Eastern Conference.
From his first game in the Magic jersey, last October, he distinguished himself by scoring 29 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists and then continued to confirm his good dispositions. He was well ahead of his runner-up Jalen Williams (Oklahoma City) and the third Walker Kessler (Utah).
