With three quality options to choose from with the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic landed on Duke’s Paolo Banchero. Banchero, 19, is the fifth Duke player to go No. 1 overall and second in the past four drafts and is the 13th consecutive freshman selected with the first pick. Banchero, 6-10, 250 pounds, might be the most NBA-ready players of the potential No. 1 picks because of his size, strength, poise and skillset that he applies to both ends of the court. It was Orlando’s fifth lottery pick in the past six drafts, and its first No. 1 pick since it selected Dwight Howard in 2004. #sports #nba #nbadraft #basketball
