Eric Paschall

Eric Paschall was given ample time this season. However, it would’ve been nice to see him even more as the Warriors seemingly lacked energy almost every time Paschall took a seat.

He was, at times, the heart of this team, taking on the Draymond Green role for the second unit. Paschall, for his rookie season, neared 30 minutes per game which, for a second-round pick, is excellent.

Averaging 14.0 points per game, Paschall has easily been the best second-round pick this season as is already proving himself to be one of the best rookies in the class. He’s going to be a force for this team for quite a while.

Getting Paschall, a 23-year-old old rookie, more minutes wouldn’t have been a bad idea. He did shoot 49.7% from the field which is one reason the team could’ve benefited from the rookie getting more minutes.

The Draymond Green-like energy that Paschall brings is likely one reason the Warriors like him so much. That said, expect him to be a solid contributor on one of the league’s best teams next season.
