Watch: Eric Paschall hits corner 3-pointer during scrimmage at Warriors training camp practice

During the Warriors’ second practice at 2020 training camp, Eric Paschall knocked down a corner 3-pointer on a pass from Kelly Oubre Jr.

During a down season for the Golden State Warriors, Eric Paschall’s performance in his rookie year performance provided a bright spot in the Bay Area.

On his way to earning a spot on the NBA’s All-Rookie First Team, the 2019 second-round pick averaged 16.5 points on 44.7% shooting from the field. Paschall added 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest.

While he was always a consistent scoring threat, Paschall shot only 28.7% from beyond the arc on 2.8 attempts per contest. Despite his low percentage, Paschall had glimpses of a steady long-range shot. During his career-high against the Portland Trail Blazers, Paschall hit a season-high four triples on six attempts.

In October, Steve Kerr said Paschall was “working hard” on his 3-point jumper. During Golden State’s second practice at their 2020 training camp, Paschall was letting in fly from long distance.

On Wednesday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic shared a video from the Warriors practice at Chase Center. The clip included a highlight of Paschall drilling a 3-pointer from the corner.

Draft Rewind: Warriors select Villanova’s Eric Paschall in 2019 second round

When they were on the clock in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors landed Villanova product Eric Paschall.

While the second round of the NBA Playoffs is underway in the Orlando Bubble, the page has officially turned to draft season for the Golden State Warriors. For the first time since 2002, the Warriors will have the opportunity to make a selection in the top five.

Before October’s draft pops up on the calendar, Warriors Wire is rewinding through Golden State’s draft history to highlight some of the most memorable selections — trades, surprises, busts, sleepers and everything in between.

With a pair of second-round picks in the 2020 edition of the draft, Bob Myers and Steve Kerr could try to build off their late pick success from 2019.

June 20, 2019

The New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies kicked off 2019 draft day by selecting Duke’s Zion Williamson and Murray State’s Ja Morant with the first two picks. Fast forward 39 selections and the Golden State Warriors were on the clock with the No. 11 pick in the second round of the draft. 

After taking Michigan’s Jordan Poole in the first round, Myers and Kerr opted to draft Eric Paschall out of Villanova with the No. 41 overall selection. 

During his senior season, Paschall averaged 16.5 points on 44.7% shooting from the field with 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest. In his final season in Jay Wright’s program, the New York native earned All-Big East honors. 

With injuries to Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in his rookie season, Paschall quickly developed into a lead offensive weapon for Kerr. In Golden State’s first win at the newly opened Chase Center in San Francisco, Paschall broke out, leading the Warriors with a career-high 34 points on 11-of-19 shooting from the field. 

Paschall capped off his first season in the association averaging 14.0 points on 49.7% shooting from the field with 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. 

Watch highlights from Paschall’s rookie season via YouTube:

After ranking in the top 10 in both points and rebounds per game for 2019-20 rookies, the 23-year-old earned votes in the Rookie of the Year race. Paschall placed at No. 6 in the award voting. The Warriors rookie was the only second-round pick to receive votes.

Along with Paschall, Morant and Williamson, other notable members of the 2019 draft class included North Carolina’s Coby White, Kentucky’s Tyler Herro, Washington’s Matisse Thybulle, Gonzaga’s Brandon Clarke, and Rui Hachimura

Undrafted free agents from the 2019 class included Boston College’s Ky Bowman, Ole Miss Terence Davis, Arizona State’s Luguentz Dort, and UCF’s Tacko Fall.

Eric Paschall reacts to Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell dropping 57 points in playoffs vs. Nuggets

While Donovan Mitchell was busy dropping 57 points in the playoffs against the Nuggets, Eric Paschall called the Jazz guard a “problem.”

Instead of suiting up for another run at the NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors are at home. With the league’s worst record at 15-50, the Warriors’ chances at the postseason were decided before the schedule was put on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Although the Warriors aren’t in the playoff picture, one Golden State rookie is tuning into the postseason action inside the NBA’s Orlando Bubble.

During the Denver Nuggets contest against the Utah Jazz in the opening round of the Western Conference playoffs, Eric Paschall chimed in on social media to support his childhood friend. While Donovan Mitchell was recording the most points scored in Jazz playoff history, Paschall called Utah’s point guard a “problem” on Twitter.

Via @epaschall on Twitter:

Prior to the postseason kicking off, Paschall shared a “throwback” photo over the weekend from his time as a teammate alongside Mitchell.

Mitchell finished the game with a new postseason career-high of 57 points on 19-of-33 shooting from the field. Along with his scorching scoring performance, the Louisville Cardinals product added nine rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 43 points. However, Mitchell’s career-high wasn’t enough.

Behind Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets were able to pace Mitchell and the Jazz for an overtime victory, 135-125.

Watch highlights from Mitchell’s historic scoring contest via YouTube:

Game two between the Jazz and Nuggets will tip-off on Wednesday at 1:00 P.M. PST.

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.

Via @epaschall:

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.
