Draft Profile: Paolo Banchero

Paolo Banchero
Strengths: Good mix of inside and outside. Can score in the paint and has decent range. Good vision for a big man. Good post defender. Might get close to a steal. Solid strength.
Weaknesses: Handles need work. Free throw shooting needs some attention. Not a good rebounder.
Scout's Take: Banchero is one of many offensively gifted big men in this draft, but he may be a notch above the rest. He provides serviceable defense but probably won't fill the stat sheet on that end. With some attention to his rebounding, Banchero should have a very bright future ahead of him.
Ratings: Paolo Banchero PF 6'10'' 250 20 B B- B- C+ C A
