Paolo Banchero

The youngest of the 28 players named to the 2024 All-Star Game, Paolo Banchero has yet to find an NBA atmosphere that he isn’t fit to thrive in. Providing the Indiana crowd with a sight that Orlando Magic fans have become all too familiar with, the second-year star hunts out a fastbreak seam down the middle of the floor before using a quick dribble on the way to a passionate two-handed flush. Banchero was synonymous with history during the festivity-packed weekend, becoming just the fifth-ever player to play in the Rising Stars Game, an All-Star Saturday event, and Sunday’s big game in the same year. Contributing to the Eastern Conference All-Stars’ memorable victory, Banchero offered up six points, nine rebounds, and five assists against the Western Conference All-Stars on February 18, 2024.
