For me the Magic made the right pick for them.
Safe to say, Chet "Hologram" Holgrem > Paolo Banchero

ORL was in desperate need for a true #1 option and 2 years in, it looks they hit a HR with that.
While OKC needed a big that could play off of SGA. I don’t think Paolo would as impactful as he is if he was playing off of SGA. Plus OKC needs rim protection.
that's just another way of saying Orlando needed a true #1 option star, and OKC needed a role player. Which just proves the Banchero > Chet point further
It’s tough bc I think Chet is a massively overrated offensive player BUT on defense he brings a lot to the table, which could make him more valuable than a mid #1 option.

I am very curious who these teams are with a versatile giant wing PF leading them to the chip. LeBron... sure, of course. Beyond that though.. mmm.. Bird... Dirk maybe.
I don't disagree he can be that guy, but I wouldn't blanket statement it's one of the prominent championship positions. Guards and Cs have been more impactful there imo.

I mean is Chets offence massively overrated? I always though Chet would succeed in the nba, but were people expecting more than 17 ppg with good across the board efficiency on a top regular season team in the league with one of the best scorers in the game? Man, I'm kind of satisfied with where he's at right now.
Let's playin for 9th!
