Warriors rookie Eric Paschall names his all-time favorite NBA players

Instead of picking his five all-time greatest, Eric Paschall named off his personal favorite NBA players.

With no basketball on the schedule, players are turning to social media to entertain themselves. A popular time-filler online has been interactive Q&A sessions with the players and fans.

“Who are your top-five players of all-time?” is a common question circulating for many players on social media. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Trae Young and Juan Toscano-Anderson were all asked similar questions.

Next up is Eric Paschall. In a Q&A on the Warriors Twitter account, Golden State’s rookie was asked to name his top-five NBA players of all-time. According to Paschall, narrowing down his top-five would be too hard. Instead, the Villanova product pivoted to sharing his personal favorite players.

The rookie named off a group of Hall of Famers, mixed with three current players — including one of his teammates.

Via @Warriors on Twitter:

I’m not going to name my top-five of all-time because that’s too hard. I’ll pick my favorite players of all-time. Tracy McGrady is definitely up there in terms of one of my favorites. LeBron [James], Kobe [Bryant], [Michael] Jordan, you can go with Shaq [O’Neil], you can go with Steph [Curry], you can go with Kevin Durant. There are too many players to just name five because there are players that are great for different reasons. I’m just going to go with my favorites with that.

After averaging 14 points on 49.7 % shooting from the field in his first NBA season, there’s a chance Paschall is already starting to catch the eye of some of his favorite players in the NBA.

Once the game action returns to the court, Golden State’s second-round pick will have 17 games to finish out an impressive rookie campaign.

During the NBA hiatus, Eric Paschall spent time answering different questions on social media.

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.

When the NBA returns from the COVID-19 hiatus, Paschall will have 17 games remaining with Golden State to finish his impressive rookie campaign on a high note.

March Madness: How members of the Warriors performed in the NCAA Tournament

With no basketball on the schedule, take a look at how members of the Golden State Warriors fared in the NCAA Tournament.

For many basketball fans, March is considered the best month on the calendar. Selection Sunday marks the start of a four-week, drama-filled sensation known as March Madness. However, in 2020, things are a bit different.

There will be no “Cinderella story” or “bracket busters” in the 2020 edition of the NCAA Tournament due to the coronavirus pandemic. The NCAA has canceled its 68-team championship tournament in precaution to COVID-19.

With no games on the NBA or college basketball schedule, Warriors Wire looked back at how members of the 2019-20 edition of the Golden State Warriors fared in March Madness.

Before they were with Golden State, three different Dubs made trips to the final game, with others stamping spots in the Elite Eight. At the same time, one newly acquired Warrior was a victim of an upset in the opening weekend.

Rookie Eric Paschall reacts on social media to the NBA suspending the season due to coronavirus

With 17 games left on the Warriors schedule, the NBA has officially suspended the season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Following a positive coronavirus test from Utah Jazz All-Star center Rudy Gobert, the NBA suspended the 2019-20 season until further notice. In a statement from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, the league will be without play for at least 30-days due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Members across the NBA have taken to social media to react to the news of the league going on hiatus due to the coronavirus. The Golden State Warriors first-year forward Eric Paschall responded to his hectic rookie season being put on hold.

After taking trips to five consecutive NBA Finals appearances, The Warriors selected Paschall out of Villanova in the second round of the 2019 NBA draft. Since being drafted, Paschall’s new team has gone through a transition period that led the Warriors to the bottom of the NBA’s standings.

In Paschall’s rookie season, six of his teammates have been traded, two-time Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry has only played five games and now the status of his final 17 games are up in the air.

Following the league coming to a halt due to COVID-19, Paschall shared a post on his Twitter for everyone to “be safe.”

The Golden State Warriors were slated to host the Brooklyn Nets in San Francisco on Thursday evening with no fans in attendance at Chase Center in San Francisco. However, the next time the Warriors will take the court now comes with a question mark.
