Orlando has a history of drafting guys who can’t wait to be out of there, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with former Duke star Paolo Banchero as Banchero has signed an extension.

And it’s a pretty good extension, too: he’s signed a five-year maximum rookie extension that could end up being worth as much as $287 million.

That’s a lot of trips to Disney World.

It’s great news for Banchero obviously, but for the Magic, keeping great players is pretty rare. Now they will have their cornerstone for a long while and can build around him. And as we’ve seen since he was at Duke, Banchero is a wildly gifted basketball player. He's the sort of player you can build a championship team around and now that he’s signed on for half a decade, Orlando can put pieces around him when he’s near his prime. The future is very bright.
