Breaking: Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero has agreed to a five-year maximum rookie contract extension that could reach $287 million, Mike Miller of LIFT Sports Management tells ESPN. Deal includes a player option; the first for a rookie max since 2021 (Luka Doncic, Trae Young).
There is no championship with WCJ as your starting Center.
Order of operation this off-season.
1. Backup PG (this is table stakes and should've been addressed last season)
2. Center - this really should be #1. Both Paolo and Franz are excellent lob throwers, giving them a lob threat, makes their driving lanes widen significantly
they also are pretty good on-ball defenders, having a shot blocking threat behind would be huge.
3. Shooting/Starting PG
---
WCJ doesn't fit this roster at all. Can't shoot, can't defend with out fouling, not an excellent rebounder
It's time to move on.
