RM: This is from Warriors World; not sure what the original source is. I
wonder what happened to him? He looked so promising his first season
with the Warriors.

Timberwolves Waive Eric Paschall

The Timberwolves have waived forward Eric Paschall, according to Shams
Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link). The team confirmed the news in
a press release.

Pachall was on a two-way deal with the Wolves, so they now have a
two-way opening after releasing him. Minnesota also recently converted
center Luka Garza to a two-way deal from an Exhibit 10 contract, waiving
guard A.J. Lawson to make room for him.

The No. 41 pick in the 2019 draft, Paschall began his NBA career with
the Warriors and had an impressive rookie season in Golden State in
2019/20, averaging 14.0 PPG, 4.6 RPG, and 2.1 APG in 60 games (27.6
MPG). His role declined in his second season and he was traded in the
2021 offseason to Utah, where his minutes dipped further.

In 58 appearances last season for the Jazz, the 25-year-old averaged 5.8
PPG and 1.8 RPG on .485/.370/.767 shooting in 12.7 MPG. He was eligible
for restricted free agency at season's end, but didn't receive a
qualifying offer from Utah and became unrestricted.

It took about a month for Paschall to find a new team in free agency,
and he said he contemplated retirement before ultimately accepting the
two-way deal with Minnesota.

"It was just a lot, you know what I'm saying?" Paschall said. "I feel
like mentally I wasn't in the greatest place. Just tired. I was like, 'I
might just stop playing basketball.' ... You see the other players
getting picked up, you're not getting a call. You're calling your agent
every day. So I was at a point where I was like I might walk away."

It's unclear what the future holds for the 6'6″ forward, but he'll clear
waivers in a couple days if he goes unclaimed.

Robin,

A quick Google search showed that Paschall may have had some injuries and hadn't play in the last few pre-season games. That might explain the release.

As far as the other stuff, I haven't watched Paschall play since he left the Warriors. Looking at some highlights, his game hasn't changed a ton. He's 6'6" but a tweener. He doesn't have great speed or handles to play small forward and not big enough to defend power forwards. He doesn't seem to be a good passer either and wouldn't fit well with the Warriors system.

I am surprised that no other team picked him up but that's life sometime
