I discussed this on @CashThatPodcast 🤝 Paolo has a tough matchup on paper against the Cleveland Cavaliers; however, he’s been excellent in his matchups against them last season. Paolo scored 20+ in each matchup against Cleveland and averaged 23.7 in those head-to-head matchups. Part of what makes Paolo so dangerous in this matchup is his ability to score at all three levels. Last season, Paolo was not nearly as efficient from 3 point range and still drained 3, 0, and 2 3s in these matchups. This season, he is shooting 44.3% from deep and that efficiency has helped to improve his looks overall. In this matchup, Paolo presents a tough defensive assignment for both Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Banchero is significantly bigger than Mobley and he’s much faster than Allen. He should be able to take it to the Cavaliers.
