If this is what NBA fans can expect from Banchero and Holmgren in the 2022-23 season, they’re certainly looking forward to it. It gets interesting.
The Orlando Magic selected Banchero first overall from Duke in the 2022 Draft, while Holmgren was selected second overall by Gonzaga from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With a solid performance in the NBA’s Summer League in Las Vegas, it’s no surprise that both sides impressed on Saturday.
