Donovan Mitchell and Eric Paschall been best friends since they were children, growing up in Westchester County, New York. Not only did they dominate in the same neighborhood, but they also took their talents to the AAU circuit, where they found equal success, much to the chagrin of others in the “bigger” parts of New York. “Nobody really expected us to be where we are at, especially playing on the same team,” Paschall said. “We were just two kids from Westchester, and now we are two guys in the league. … We just had to prove ourselves.”
