Paolo Banchero

Paolo Banchero left little doubt to this pick. The 2023 NBA Rookie of the Year was the lone unanimous First Team All-Rookie selection after averaging 20 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game across 72 contests. The 6-foot-10 forward posted 40 games of at least 20 points and reached the 30-point threshold six times, including season-highs of 33 points and 16 rebounds on November 5 — just the 10th game of his professional career. Banchero became just the seventh rookie in league history to average at least 19 points, six rebounds and three assists per game and was the 11th Orlando Magic player to earn an All-Rookie First Team selection. The first overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft scored at least 20 points in the first six games of the season and tallied double-digit points in all but four of his games played while logging 14 double-doubles. Banchero was one of just six rookies since 2000 to average at least 20 points per game.
