Impact Banchero ended just two rebounds away from recording a double-double, a feat he's accomplished just once this season, though perhaps surprisingly, he's yet to grab 10 or more rebounds in 2023-24. Banchero endured a slow start but seems to be trending in the right direction of late, averaging 23.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game over his last four contests.

Impact Banchero notched at least five assists for the third consecutive game, and he's on pace to exceed the 3.7 assists per game he averaged as a rookie. Banchero posted 2-of-8 shooting in the second half Monday, making improved crunch-time scoring an important component of his evolution.

Impact Logging the first double-digit assist performance of his career, Banchero's well-rounded impact is an early season trend.

Impact Banchero averaged 20.0 points per game as a rookie but finally reached that tally in this game, and in a big way, as his contributions carried the Magic to a tight win on the road. Without being downright bad, Banchero was enduring a slow start to the season, but this game might be what he needs to snap his low-scoring skid. He's averaging 16.0 points per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the field through his first five games.

Impact Banchero won't be happy with the start to his second season. Through three games, he has compiled averages of 11.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists while shooting a mere 37.5 percent from the field. He'll look to bounce back against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Limited impact as scorer Banchero recorded 12 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 116-86 victory over the Rockets.
Impact Banchero didn't have his best performance in this season opener, but the Magic didn't need to rely heavily on him, as Orlando cruised to a massive 30-point victory against the Rockets. One subpar outing is not going to define Banchero by any means, especially after a rookie campaign in which he averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. While this is not the start of the season fantasy managers hoped for him, Banchero should remain the Magic's main offensive threat on a game-to-game basis as the season progresses.

Poor effort Tuesday Banchero ended with five points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 20 minutes in Tuesday's 104-92 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Banchero made his presence felt across the board but struggled massively as a scoring threat, though based on his track record, there's a strong chance this was nothing but an off night for the 2022-23 Rookie of the Year. Banchero will aim to build off a stellar rookie year in which he averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

Team option exercised The Magic exercised Banchero's third-year team option Wednesday.
Impact Banchero established himself as an integral part of Orlando's system during his rookie season last year, so it isn't surprising to see the team pick up his third-year option. He averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 33.8 minutes per game while making 72 appearances during the 2022-23 campaign.

Sidelined for World Cup finale Banchero didn't play Sunday for Team USA during the FIBA World Cup third-place game against Canada due to an upper respiratory illness, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Brandon Ingram missed the semifinal matchup versus Germany on Friday due to the same issue, and it appears he passed it to Banchero and Jaren Jackson, who were both sidelined Sunday. All three players should be good to go for their respective training camps in October, but it was certainly a disheartening way to end a disappointing tournament for Team USA.
