Paolo Banchero: The Next NBA Superstar?
Fantasy basketball analyst Eric Karabell discusses the potential of Paolo Banchero to average 30.0 PPG and become a top fantasy option.

In his first week of the season, Paolo Banchero showed why he was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, averaging 29.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 48.0 ESPN fantasy points per game. However, he suffered a torn right oblique and has missed 33 of the team's 38 games. With the Orlando Magic missing several key players, Banchero should get all the shots he wants, and then even more shots, upon his return. If he can return to his early-season form, he could be a top-25 fantasy option and a potential fantasy championship winner.
