Paschall and Bowman both put up performances worthy of a Warrior Wonder

The two rookies put on quite a show in New Orleans, but Chriss might need to get it the WW just for that poster dunk.

The Golden State Warriors may have fallen to the New Orleans Pelicans Sunday night, but they had a few youngsters whose star is on the rise. Who was your Warrior Wonder in the loss in the Big Easy?

Eric Paschall

The rookie tallied his second 30-point game of the season, proving that his earlier scoring outburst against Portland was no fluke. He shot 10-of-17 from the field, while bullying his way to 8-of-10 shooting from the free throw line. He added 7 rebounds in his 35 minutes, and it’s clear he belongs in this league.

Ky Bowman

Bowman was another Warriors rookie who provided some scoring punch on the night. His 19 points and 4 assists off of the bench were inspiring, and his defense on Jrue Holiday showed off his two-way capabilities. Bowman also canned three triples to show he can provide much needed floor spacing.

Marquese Chriss

In 18 minutes as a reserve, Chriss tallied 10 points, 7 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block, and the most entertaining moment of the night.

Flashes of powerful play like THAT remind Dub Nation of why Draymond Green lobbied for him during training camp.

Honorable Mention: Willie Cauley-Stein had 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals in 25 minutes. The steals number popped off the box score, as it shows that WCS was engaged defensively.
