Athletistic/Basketball. 19-year-old forward Paolo Banquero has become the National Basketball Association’s first draft pick of the new season.

Banquero was selected first overall by the Orlando Magic. He previously represented Duke University. Orlando got the top pick as the weakest team at the end of last season

This season, instead of 60 draft picks, there will be only 58, because in the second round, Miami and Milwaukee will be denied the right to choose to violate the rules of the free agent market.

The second and third picks were Chet Holmgren and Jabari Smith. They were selected by Oklahoma and Sacramento respectively.
