According to domestic media sources, NBL team Hubei Cultural Tourism will sign Eric Paschall, a former NBA player who plays for another NBL team, Shijiazhuang Xianglan, this season.

Pascal was born in November 1996. He is 28 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 116kg. He is the 41st pick in the second round of the Golden State Warriors in the 2019 NBA Draft. In the NBA, in addition to the Warriors who selected him, Pascal also played for the Utah Jazz. He has played 158 games in the NBA regular season, averaging 19.5 minutes per game, averaging 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1 turnover and 1.5 fouls. He has a shooting percentage of 49.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 32.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 75.8%. In July 2022, Pascal signed a two-way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but shortly before the regular season began, he was cut by the Timberwolves. Since then, he has never appeared in the NBA arena and has never received a contract from an NBA team. After leaving the NBA, Pascal has played in the Puerto Rico League and Serie A, but his performance in both leagues is not ideal and has not shown his due level. His overall performance can be said to be very disappointing. In the NBL field this season, Pascal played 10 games, averaging 22.6 minutes per game, with averaging 19.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 0.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 51.5%, three-point shooting percentage was 43.2%, and free throw shooting percentage was 77.8%. In the NBL field, Pascal still showed a relatively comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. His offensive efficiency was quite good, and his offensive methods were relatively rich. He also got a lot of points when he didn't play too much, providing a lot of support and help to the team on the offensive end. However, Pascal's performance in other aspects is relatively average, and his contribution to the defensive end is not high.

Pascal was also a player who entered the rotation lineup for the Warriors, but due to certain problems in body control, Pascal was unable to continue to stay in the NBA arena, and his professional spirit and attitude are also worrying. Of course, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and his personal ability is still there. He can indeed provide a lot of help and support to the team on the offensive end. In the NBL field in the new season, various teams have begun to recruit players, and the NBL game will also start almost simultaneously with the CBA game in the new season. If Pascal can continue to perform stably in the NBL field, some CBA teams may also pay attention to him?
