Paolo Banchero diary: I want people to learn the type of person, competitor I am

#andscape
During the 2024-25 NBA season, Orlando Magic All-Star forward Paolo Banchero will be sharing insight into his life with the Magic in his monthly diary on Andscape. Draymond Green, Vince Carter, Trae Young, CJ McCollum, Fred VanVleet, De’Aaron Fox, Cade Cunningham, James Wiseman, Josh Jackson and most recently Bradley Beal have participated in previous diaries.
In his first diary entry from the Magic’s practice facility, as told to Andscape senior NBA writer Marc J. Spears, Banchero talks about why Seattle “pound for pound” produces the best basketball players in America, taking blame for the Magic losing in a deciding Game 7 in the first round of the playoffs, his optimism about this season, Friday night’s home opener, his hair braiding process and more.
