Eric Paschall Might be Done
After an incredible rookie season for the Golden State Warriors, Eric Paschall seems to be running out of juice. In his three seasons, he has gotten worse every single year. He has added a three-point shot, which is refreshing, but his defense is not there and his impact has been negligible.
He disappears in the playoffs, but some fanbases seem to think he’s worth it. He hasn’t shown that in Utah, so I say let him walk. He’s a restricted free agent, so the Jazz can match any offer, although I suspect one or two teams might make an offer that is very high.
One FA really flying under the radar: Eric Paschall. I might even start him at PF if Jae is traded.

He was All-Rookie First Team in 2020, had his mins then reduced in 2021 & even more in 2022. Just been in bad situations. Fully capable starter in this league.
The only issue with letting him walk is it might upset Donovan Mitchell. The two seem to be quite close, and keeping a star happy is very important, as we have learned with Rudy Gobert. It is true that Paschall has seen fewer minutes every season, so his confidence might be rattled. Maybe a different role on the roster would suit him well, but unlike Hassan Whiteside, there isn’t a good reason to resign him. Three million a year would be fine if it keeps Mitchell happy, but other than that there’s no reason to extend an offer.
