If there were a silver lining in Golden State’s league-worst 15-50 season, it would be the arrival of Eric Paschall. The 2019 second-round pick quickly blossomed into one of Golden State’s leading offensive factors in the 2019-20 season.
In the Warriors’ seventh game of the season, Paschall established himself in Steve Kerr’s rotation. The rookie dropped a season-high 34 points on 11-of-19 shooting from the field with 13 boards in Golden State’s 127-118 win victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Villanova product’s performance against Damian Lillard and the Blazers set the tone for his breakout rookie season in the Bay Area. On his way to landing at No. 6 on the Rookie of the Year voting, Paschall averaged 14.0 points on 49.7% shooting from the field with 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest. The 23-year-old ranked in the top 10 in both points and rebounds per game for 2019-20 rookies.
On Sunday, the young forward shared a highlight video with some of the top plays from his rookie campaign. Along with a bevy of dazzling dunks, the video created by Cameron Hussein featured moments from Paschall’s draft day. The video is set to Jack Harlow’s hit “WHATS POPPIN.”
