Orlando Magic should keep Paolo Banchero as centerpiece, experts say

The Orlando Magic's early exit from the Eastern Conference playoffs has led to discussions about Paolo Banchero's future with the team. Despite the criticism directed at Banchero after the loss to the Detroit Pistons, analysts argue that it is premature to consider trading the All-Star. Banchero, who averaged 22.2 points and 8.4 rebounds last season, has shown significant potential since being the No. 1 pick in the 2022 draft. Experts suggest that the Magic should focus on building around him and addressing weaknesses at point guard and perimeter shooting during the offseason.
