We’re rapidly approaching the point where Orlando has seen enough from Paolo Banchero and puts him in bubble wrap until the fall.

Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

yeah it might be time to send Banchero home. 1.25 games into Summer League i cannot give a bigger compliment.

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen

Paolo Banchero has been impressive in just about every way, everything but rebounding. Just blocked a couple shots in the past few possessions. But the thing that stands out is how competitive he’s been, much more so than described leading up to the draft.

George Hathaway @hathawaygeorge9

Paolo Banchero looks like a veteran not a rookie. <br><br>His ability to master the game is just amazing to watch. Future star.

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins

My initial scouting report on Paolo Banchero:<br>• superb court vision<br>• enthusiastic playmaker/passer<br>• strong, w/room to improve<br>• NBA-ready court presence/confidence<br>• confident ballhandler<br>• attacks mismatches well, w/fluidity<br>• 3-pt shooting stroke is OK but needs reps

Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears

Banchero is bullying the summer league in the same way Zion did.

Bonta Hill @BontaHill

Rookie of the Year is Banchero’s to lose.

Orlando Magic Daily @OMagicDaily

Paolo Banchero today:<br><br>23 points<br>6/15 FG<br>11/15 FT<br>6 assists<br>6 rebounds<br>8 TO<br><br>Banchero knows he has to clean up the turnovers. But he was more assertive looking for his shot and taking tougher shots. Still made a lot of great passes. A lot to like. We’ll see if he plays Monday.

Keegan Murray, that’s the tweet. <a href=”https://t.co/sGZCd9ikXM”>pic.twitter.com/sGZCd9ikXM</a>

Kings fans used to fear the common 3rd quarter collapse. Keegan Murray might singlehandedly make it the team’s best quarter if summer league is any indication.

Kevin Huerter on Sacramento Kings rookie Keegan Murray: “He looks good.”

Danny Marang @DannyMarang

The legend of Keegan Murray is real

Alex Kramers @alexkramers

Keegan Murray’s outside shot is so smooth. I think he’ll have no trouble averaging 15 points as a rookie.

Matt Morris @mattchrismor777

I’m super impressed by Keegan Murray. Dude can play and has the calm demeanor locked in. <a href=”https://twitter.com/SacramentoKings?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@SacramentoKings</a> got themselves a gem. <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/NBA2K23SummerLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#NBA2K23SummerLeague</a> <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/NBASummerLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#NBASummerLeague</a> <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/nba?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#nba</a>
