JC is making a strong first impression with the Orlando Magic.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero had no chance against the quick defense of Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr.

Paolo Banchero had 31 points and 12 rebounds, Anthony Black scored 26 points and the Orlando Magic beat the Miami Heat 133-124 to snap a four-game skid.

Many people have started pointing fingers, specifically at the team's young star, Paolo Banchero. One of whom was NBA champion Kendrick Perkins, who spoke on NBA Today to voice his sharp criticism of the former No. 1 overall pick.

Kendrick Perkins believes that Magic star Paolo Banchero has performed well below expectations so far this season.

While the Suns were without Devin Booker, the Magic were missing Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner on Saturday at Phoenix.
