He was the number one pick for a reason.

Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero almost unanimously won the Rookie of the Year Award after getting 98 out of the 100 first place votes.

The versatile big man averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists on 42.7 percent shooting from the field to become the third player from the franchise to win the award after Shaquille O’Neal in 1993 and Mike Miller in 2001.

He also joined Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Walter Davis, Blake Griffin, and Luka Doncic as the only rookies to average 20+ points, 6+ rebounds, and 3+ assists in the last 50 years.

“He [Mike Miller] looked at me and he asked me if I was going to be rookie of the year,” Banchero said in his acceptance of the award on TNT.

“I confidently said yes. It was just a goal I’ve always had, something I had my eye on from the second I got drafted. I’m glad I was able to do it.”

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
