Eric

Paschall

Paschall has spent time in Puerto Rico, Italy and China since he last played in the NBA in 2022. The 2019 second-round pick averaged 14.0 points per game for the Warriors as a rookie and 9.5 points per game as a sophomore, but after spending his third season in Utah, he wasn’t able to find a new team to suit up for. His career will continue to take him around the world, though a return to the NBA seems unlikely at this point.

Paschall was on a two-way deal with the club, but now he’ll need to search for another contract. Regardless of where he winds up, we wouldn’t anticipate him having any fantasy value.

The 2019 second-round pick is on a two-way deal with a deep Minnesota team, so fantasy managers don’t need to look in his direction even once he’s healthy.

When reports came out about Paschall potentially heading to Greece, he shut those down pretty quickly. Instead, he’ll follow Rudy Gobert to Minnesota after playing with him in Utah last season. Paschall will be a depth team on one of the best Minnesota teams ever. He probably won’t see enough of a role to be valuable in fantasy hoops.

Paschall spent last season as a backup for Utah. He had a few solid performances but was relatively unimportant in fantasy hoops. If he stays in the NBA, he probably won’t find a large role to make him valuable, unless he joins a tanking team. If he heads over to Greece, you can disregard him, obviously.

The Jazz will be looking to shake things up this offseason with a new head coach, so it’s no surprise to see them opt for more flexibility. Paschall is coming off a quiet season in Utah, averaging just under 13 minutes per game.

He hasn’t played in any of Utah’s prior nine games and is taking his time rehabbing the injury, but his team could really use another offensive weapon as they’re currently in the midst of a five-game losing streak. It’s been either Juancho Hernangomez or Eric Paschall starting for Bojan, but both have been very quiet with the exception of a dash of boards and triples from Juancho.

With Hassan Whiteside (foot) ruled out, Monroe was immediately thrust into the backup center role Tuesday night. While he did some good things offensively, there was a clear dropoff on the defensive end of the floor. Monroe’s presence moved Rudy Gobert (11 points, three rebounds, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 16 minutes) and Eric Paschall (two points, one rebound in six minutes) away from the center position, but there wasn’t much of an impact from a fantasy standpoint. So long as Rudy Gobert is healthy, Monroe isn’t worth streaming. And the same can be said for Gay and Paschall.

Not only did Gay get some added run due to garbage time, but he was also a more active part of the rotation with both Rudy Gobert (leg) and Hassan Whiteside (foot) watching from the sidelines. Eric Paschall got the spot-start with those two out and finished with 10 points, one rebound, one assist, two triples and one steal over 26 minutes. Gobert was a late-scratch tonight, and this game did not come as a back-to-back set, so it’s unclear if he’ll need to miss any additional games. However, if both Gobert and Whiteside again find themselves on the sidelines for Tuesday’s game vs. the Clippers, Gay and Paschall would be guys to think about as potential streamers.

With Rudy Gobert and Hassan Whiteside both ruled out due to injury, Paschall will serve as the starting “center” Sunday night. Both he and Rudy Gay are worth streaming due to how shorthanded the Jazz are in the frontcourt.
