I have to say he's the Warriors' most improved player this season. He still needs to develop his 3 but there is no one better in ISO. He's a bulldozer and has a good mid-range shot.
He's such a quirky player. He's got a frame reminiscent of guys like PJ Tucker and Chuck Hayes who play excellent post D because they're as strong as most C's and have great leverage.
Both those guys were probably better overall defenders. Hopefully he gets there. They are also both excellent rebounders, and that's something where it either seems you've got the gene or you don't. So minus for him there.
But other than PJ Tucker sitting in a corner and hitting a 3, those guys can't do ANYTHING on offense. Paschall's out there breaking guys down from the top of the key, hitting mid range jumpers and kicking out to shooters like a jumbo sized Dwyane Wade. It looks EASY for him.
I think the rebounding will be a problem some games, but he's gonna be a huge weapon.
Bazemore just called Paschall a “young Larry Johnson” on Instagram Stories!

Still hoping he can develop into a modern day Barkley (with better D).
I wonder if Paschall will hold up on D as a small C, but I was surprised to see that -- at least officially -- he is the heaviest player on the team. https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/GSW/2021.html
