The amount of Warriors highlights I get to make is skyrocketing. The last few years, it’s been really slim pickings, with maybe an Andre Iguodala vid here or a Damian Jones vid there. Shaun Livingston, rarely. Sometimes, if the Warriors blew out the opposition by enough, I’d be lucky enough to showcase someone like Marcus Derrickson (who, by the way, would be averaging 15 PPG if he were still on the roster, don’t you dare even think about @ing me). I don’t think I’ve ever ignored a single team so much before.
That all has changed. Now, I can make a vid for EVERYONE currently playing except for Draymond Green, who I assume is coming back soon-ish. And given the reality of the NBA, where even the worst teams score points just by being full of players who are theoretically NBA caliber, there are multiple performances per night that I can choose from. It’s like the 76ers of yore, and I’m loving it.
Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if Eric Paschall is too good for my channel, but since he’s a rookie, he gets included by default. These last few games he’s answered the call and stepped up as the Warriors’ alpha-wolf scorer. Someone had to do it, and everyone kinda was hoping for Jordan Poole, but that guy can’t shoot for beans right now. Paschall has the (apparently) well-rounded offensive game to be able to score in a lot of ways, which is what this offense-starved team needs. That’s compared to someone like Stephen Curry, who can only shoot and needs a lot of help just to get open.
