The text message landed quickly in Eric Paschall’s inbox. After the Warriors selected Paschall with the No. 41 pick, his future teammate greeted him warmly.
Fitting that Draymond Green welcomed Paschall to the Warriors immediately. After yielding endless comparisons to each other’s games, Paschall now has a direct pipeline on learning what it takes to become the next Draymond Green. Green can show Paschall himself.
“Thank you,” Paschall recalled texting back. “I’m willing to learn from you.”
Too early to call Paschall the next Draymond Green, obviously. Green has cemented himself as a three-time NBA champion and a three-time All-Star.
