“The only way I really know how to go about it is just to try and be myself as best I can.” @OrlandoMagic’s Paolo Banchero
According to Giannis, that’s as “a great player…who can operate at all 3 levels.” Or as Doc Rivers put it, he “was unbelievable.”

“He is a great player. Obviously, he plays at a very, very high level. A guy who can operate at all three levels. Big, can defend … he does the little things that his team needs to win games. Happy that he is back healthy. Obviously, Orlando is a very, very dangerous team. A young team … a very, very big team. They can give a lot of teams problems, not just the Milwaukee Bucks. If we have a chance to meet in the playoffs, you have to definitely be very, very locked in and come ready.” – Antetokounmpo on Banchero and the Magic -via NBA.com / January 12, 2025
“It was great. I tell you, it’s good to be young because you miss that many games and you come out with 34 points, seven rebounds. And I bet he missed five shots that he would love to have over again. And that was unbelievable by him.” – Bucks head coach Doc Rivers on Banchero -via NBA.com / January 12, 2025
