The Orlando Magic have selected Duke forward Paolo Banchero with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

ANALYSIS: At 6-foot-10 and 250 pounds, Paolo Banchero is incredibly versatile. He excels in the post, can create off the dribble and continues to improve as a face-up shooter from deep. He lacks elite athleticism on the defensive end, but has flashed a great feel and discipline to counter that. Players with his build and skill set don't come around very often.
