Over the weekend, the Golden State Warriors saw their seven-year streak of sending players to the NBA All-Star Game come to a screeching halt. There was no Steph Curry or Kevin Durant, leading the charge of the game’s greatest players. There was no Klay Thompson or Draymond Green, smiling and laughing during the world’s grandest pickup game. There wasn’t even David Lee, who started the team’s All-Star streak back in 2013.
Devoid of All-Stars, the Warriors sent a lone representative to icy Chicago: 41st overall pick Eric Paschall, who repped the Dubs for Team USA during the Rising Stars Game, a celebration of the brightest first and second-year players in the league.
