Eric Paschall is making me rethink my life as an internet basketball analysis keyboard warrior. I thought he would be unplayable on defense and wreck our offense. He's been great so far. On offense he moves the ball and shoots when open. I don't expect him to keep making his 3's at this rate, but it's nice that he's making them now.

I especially love how he can move his feet on defense and absorb contact. He's committed himself to playing defense so much he even plays defense when on offense:

He can’t turn it off… only has one speed.
 
Makes me wonder what happens with minutes once RGay is back. Paschall has been more than a pleasant surprise.

Ehh I don't see it.
 
Glad I decided to just drink the koolaid on this one. Yet another instance where I look like a gawddamn genius.
 
Crashes the boards too.
Even provided comedy when he made ingles pump fake.
He has been a dream so far

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Kind of sucks that he probably wont even get minutes once Gay comes back.

I’m just glad he’s a better defender on defense than he is on offense.
 
Paschall's defensive effort has been many times better than I expected. His jumper is wonky and I don't expect it to go in. But the effort on the boards and cutting are legit things.
 
I’ve been pleasantly surprised with him. I really liked what I saw from him skill set wise in the preseason. Nice to see him finally get a payoff game. I think all of his baskets came from offense rebounds, transition, or spots ups which is how he’s going to have to keep playing to make an impact on offense. Defensively his effort has been great and he can really add something with his athleticism and body type.

It’s funny, this is actually much closer to the scouting report for him from his draft profile. He went to GSW and made all rookie from playing totally different and getting buckets without playing much defense. Then last season he got bounced from the rotation and eventually traded because he couldn’t adapt and play like he’s playing now. The Warriors were dying for this type of player and settled in on JTA instead.
