Banchero had 24 points (9-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-10 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 109-102 loss to the Nets.
Banchero logged his most minutes since returning from injury and was one of the best players for the Magic, but that shouldn't be surprising given how impactful he's been as a rookie. Missing seven games didn't slow him down at all, and Banchero is currently averaging 22.9 points per game while shooting 46 percent from the field on the season. Through the first month-and-a-half of the season, Banchero has easily looked like the best rookie -- both in fantasy and real life -- from the 2022 NBA Draft class.
