Magic No. 1 pick Bancaro will be selected to the NBA All-Rookie First Team with the most votes


The NBA officially announced the list of the best rookie team selected this season today. The 20-year-old forward Paul Banqueiro, who is currently the best rookie and No. 1 pick in the Orlando Magic, is expected to lead the best rookie first team with the most votes.


Bancaro was selected by the Magic with the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft last year. Before participating in the draft, he was already a big story among rookies in the basketball world. He is considered to have the potential of a famous player in the future.


This rookie has lived up to expectations. He has emerged in the first season of the Magic. He is an offensive player who leads all NBA rookies in terms of scoring efficiency with comprehensive rebounding, ball handling, passing and high physique.


Bancaro averaged 20 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 blocks in 33.8 minutes in 72 games this season. The shooting percentage was 42.7%, and the three-point shooting percentage was 29.8%, which helped the Magic get rid of the sluggish record of 20 wins and 62 losses last season, and improved to 34 wins and 48 losses this season.


After Bancaro was elected the NBA Rookie of the Year with the most votes, he continued to lead all rookies and became the only starting rookie to be unanimously nominated, and ranked first in the All Rookie First Team with the most 100 votes.

The remaining four rookies are 22-year-old guard Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder, 21-year-old forward Walker Kessler of the Utah Jazz, and 22-year-old forward Keegan of the Sacramento Kings. Murray and Indiana Pacers guard Benedict Maturin, 20.


Both Williams and Kessler were popular candidates for Rookie of the Year competition with Banqueiro this season, but in the end Banchelo was elected with 98 votes out of a total of 100 votes. They have all played an important role for their respective teams this season, and they deserve to be selected to the All-Rookie Team.


As for the All-Rookie Second Team, which is composed of outstanding rookies from the bottom teams in the NBA this season, 19-year-old forward Jeremy Sohan of the San Antonio Spurs received the most votes. The Houston Rockets' 19-year-old forward Jabari Smith Jr. and 21-year-old forward Tari Eason were selected together, and the Detroit Pistons' 19-year-old forward Jaylen Durham and 21-year-old forward Jayden Ivey were selected as second picks. All were selected to the All-Rookie Second Team.
