Magic’s Banchero, T-Wolves’ McDaniels Drop 50 Points at Pro-Am

Read Time:2 Minute, 4 Second

Amid a summer full of show-stealing performances by NBA players on the Pro-Am basketball circuit, a trio of young standouts, including two of the top rookies in the 2022 draft, commanded the spotlight in Seattle on Saturday. 

Magic forward Paolo Banchero and Thunder center Chet Holmgren, the respective No. 1 and 2 overall picks in June’s draft, teamed up to face a squad led by rising Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels at The CrawsOver, a Pro-Am league hosted by 20-year NBA veteran Jamal Crawford.

The 6-foot-10 Banchero gave Magic fans a little taste of what many hope will be a dominant career for the former Duke Blue Devil, showing off his full array of skills en route to dropping 50 points to go along with eight rebounds and five assists. Holmgren, meanwhile, showed off in his own right as the former Gonzaga star nearly finished with a triple-double with 34 points, 14 rebounds and eight (!) blocks.
