Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall was picked as the No. 41 player in the draft, a second-round selection, but if anyone still questioned whether he’s one of the best in the 2019 class, he answered it Friday night.
Paschall scored a team-high 23 points in the Rising Stars Challenge to help Team USA get a 151-131 win.
He made 10 of his 13 shots, good for 76.9% from the field. He also had three rebounds and two assists.
Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges was named MVP of the game, scoring 20 points and grabbing five rebounds and assists apiece.
New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett led the game with 27 points for Team World and Memphis Grizzlies power forward Brandon Clarke had 22.
Here are some highlights of Paschall’s performance:
