While Golden State’s season has been filled with injuries and losses, a bright spot in the Warriors down year has been the arrival of Eric Paschall. After being drafted in the second round of the 2019 draft, Paschall has exploded onto the scene in his first season in the Bay Area.
The Villanova product started his career on a Rookie of the Year pace, earning a nod to the Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star weekend in Chicago. Paschall is averaging 14.0 points on 49.7 % shooting from the field in his first season in the NBA.
Prior to the NBA suspending the season due to the coronavirus, Paschall was racking up significant numbers. Over his past seven games, the rookie tallied 19.7 points on 54.9 % shooting, with 5.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game. Golden State added three wins to their record during that seven-game span.
During the NBA hiatus, Paschall spent time on Twitter answering questions from fans. The New York native revealed what he thinks is the most underrated part of his game.
Via @NBA on Twitter:
The most underrated part of my game is definitely my playmaking ability. I feel like I have all the tools to make the right plays. I can continue to find my teammates open because of my aggressiveness. So I would definitely say playmaking is a huge underrated part of my game.
Q: What do you think is the most underrated part of your game? #NBATogether
