Paolo Banchero · As far as NBA debuts go, Paolo Banchero’s was one of the best. The Orlando Magic’s No. 1 pick won’t soon forget his first game against the Detroit Pistons, and neither will Cory Joseph after Banchero put the 12-year veteran on a poster with a demonstrative dunk. Banchero made 11 of his 18 field goal attempts for 27 points, nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks, cementing one of the best debuts from a No. 1 pick in the past half-century. The Pistons won the October 19, 2022 game, but the Magic left Motown feeling fantastic about their new franchise cornerstone. · State of Mint
