Mobley has been the most effective defender against him and he's not a conventional center.

Orlando offense has been bad this last 5 minutes. Banchero or oreb. That's it

Unless you're trying to say something about Edwards, Paolo is way more Melo.

They can't get rebounds if they do sadly, since Allen isn't available.

Evan Mobley heard the slander as well. He's the only guy they have who can defend Paolo or score in the paint.

Banchero will have to practice his FTs and learn to pass if he's going to be that guy

I don’t disagree but they don’t have Allen. They have no choice.
