Scores 17 points in win Banchero amassed 17 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes in Tuesday's 109-105 victory over Memphis.

Impact Thirteen of Banchero's 17 points came in the first half as he attempted only three shots in 13 second-half minutes. Tuesday's performance was arguably his best of the preseason and was the first time he made more than half his shots and grabbed more than five rebounds. The 19-year-old is averaging 13.3 points while making 43.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and going 17-for-18 from the charity stripe in four preseason games.

Collects three steals Banchero scored nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3 Pt, 3-3 FT) with five rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes against the Spurs on Thursday. He added three steals.

Impact Banchero didn't shoot the ball well Thursday night, but he did show his versatility by contributing in multiple stat categories. He stole a pass from Devin Vassell early in the first quarter and also recorded a steal in both the second and third quarters. Banchero dished out three assists as well, including a nice pass to Jalen Suggs for a three in the third quarter to tie the game. On the downside, the 2022 first-round pick was charged with four personal fouls in three quarters of action.

Struggles from field in Magic debut Banchero finished with eight points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 24 minutes in Monday's loss to the Grizzlies in his NBA prese...

Impact Banchero started and ranked second on the team with 24 minutes in the exhibition opener, but he had difficulty getting his shot to fall. The No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft looked much better in a pair of contests in the Las Vegas Summer League, so there's little point in reading too much into Monday's subpar showing. He'll likely go through some rookie growing pains, but Banchero figures to see ample opportunity this season and is an interesting target in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.

Starting preseason debut Banchero will start Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact The Magic will go with a big lineup featuring Banchero at small forward alongside Mo Bamba and Wendell Carter. Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs will get the nod at the guard spots, while both Franz Wagner (rest) and Markelle Fultz (toe) sit out. When Wagner is available, Banchero will likely slide up to his more natural power forward spot, but his skill set should enable him to play both positions for a Magic team stocked with frontcourt depth.
