Former Golden State Warrior Signs In Puerto Rico

After three seasons in the NBA, the 26-year-old former Golden State Warrior was unable to find work in the league this season, so now it's off to Puerto Rico for Eric Paschall to continue his basketball journey.

After being selected in the 2nd round (41st overall) in the 2019 NBA Draft, Paschall had an impressive start to his career with the Warriors, averaging 14 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in about 27 minutes per contest in 60 games in the 2019-20 season. 

His role, and production, diminished in his sophomore year, playing only 17 minutes, while averaging 9.5 points. The Warriors moved him to the Utah Jazz for this third season, where he had even less of a role, playing just 12 minutes per game last season and posting just 5.8 points. 

His dropoff was so steep, he even considering retiring last summer, but instead signed a two-way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, though he never played a game for them.

He'll try his hand in Puerto Rico, as the Baloncesto Superior Nacional season gets underway in two weeks.
