The Utah Jazz have traded for power forward/center Eric Paschall. According to reports, they gave up a lottery-protected second round pick in a future draft for the 24-year-old player. The Warriors did not get a player in return.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the news on Wednesday, via Twitter.
Paschall is an NCAA Champion with the Villanova Wildcats. He won the memorable 2018 championship over North Carolina as his teammate Kris Jenkins hit a buzzer-beater three to put the Wildcats ahead for good.
He is also a good friend of now-teammate Donovan Mitchell. Paschall and Mitchell played AAU basketball together in the Northeast. The former First Team All-Rookie selection will join his old friend and the NBA’s number one regular season team in pursuit of a 2022 NBA Finals berth.
