In 1992, Shaquille O&#8217;Neal was chosen for the first time. The Magic selected <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nba\/player-details\/20000543\/D.Dwight\">Dwight Howard<\/a> with the first overall choice in the 2004 summer draft, and over the next three years, between 2009 and 2011, they saw him develop into the league&#8217;s finest defender. Banchero, who claims to be aware of what is in store for him, will undoubtedly face a lot of expectations and pressure based on the performances of the aforementioned prior top overall picks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"it\" dir=\"ltr\">The 2022 Number 1\u20e3 overall pick, Paolo Banchero \ud83d\udcf8 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FPiHS20w4h\">pic.twitter.com\/FPiHS20w4h<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NBA Draft (@NBADraft) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBADraft\/status\/1540138270734127105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 24, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Paolo Banchero admits he&#8217;s ready for the Magic challenge<\/h2>\n<p><em>\u201cThere\u2019s going to be high expectations for myself that I\u2019m going to hold myself to and that everyone is going to hold myself to,\u201d Banchero <a href=\"https:\/\/nba.nbcsports.com\/2022\/06\/25\/no-1-pick-banchero-says-he-is-ready-for-high-expectations-with-magic\/\">said<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBut I feel like it\u2019s nothing I\u2019m not used to.

He then took off sprinting after that. One day after being indelibly inscribed on the list of top draft selections, Banchero landed in Orlando on Friday. The 6-foot-10 big from Duke will formally begin working out the next week in preparation for Orlando&#8217;s NBA Summer League debut on July 7.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zD2Y43CDvUM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Orlando Magic selected Duke&#8217;s Paolo Banchero as the first overall choice in the 2022 NBA Draft on Thursday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. 6-foot-10 big Banchero helped Duke go to the Final Four during coach Mike Krzyzewski&#8217;s last season.
