Eric Paschall

As with Lee, forward Eric Paschall isn’t putting up those big-time numbers he had last season. But, he’s hanging more within that ballpark as he went from averaging 14.0 points per game to 11.9.

Similar to Lee, as the return of Curry and Green have impacted the game, the point of the second unit is to be more efficient and less purely productive. The former First-Team All-Rookie player has become a vital part of the second unit.

This season, Paschall, who was an older rookie when he came into the league and is now 24, had a stretch in which he notched double figures in all eight games. In those games, the Warriors went 6-2.

His contributions are very important to the success of the Warriors’ second unit, and you can tell that he still has new heights that can be reached. Paschall doesn’t do much defensively or as a playmaker as he’s usually benefitted from other players making plays.

That will be the next step he takes, and there’s no doubt that he’ll be able to reach it as he’s already shown improved efficiency this season.
