After a career-high 25.9 points and 7.5 rebounds-per-game in 2024-25, former No.1 overall draft Paolo Banchero is signing a five-year maximum rookie contract extension with the Orlando Magic.
The Magic may have bowed out in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last year, but look out for the Magic in 2026. With the East looking wide open for the near future with key injuries to stars like Jayson Tatum in Boston and Tyrese Haliburton in Indiana, Orlando is taking a serious swing at becoming a contender. Along with locking down Banchero, they also held onto big man Mo Wagner while acquiring Desmond Bane from Memphis via trade.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. So far, Banchero has lived up to his high school hype at every level, excelling in his one season at Duke before being named 2022-23 Rookie of the Year. With that being said, how many of the NBA’s lottery era Rookie of the Year winners can you name in five minutes?
Good luck!
