Donovan Mitchell’s childhood friend Eric Paschall of Villanova looks to reinvent himself through NBA draft process

SALT LAKE CITY — Once Villanova guard Eric Paschall’s flight landed in Salt Lake City on Monday, he immediately tagged the Utah Jazz’s franchise star Donovan Mitchell in his Instagram story.

Although away in New York, the Jazz guard responded jokingly to the post with “MY SON!!!!!!!” as the caption.

Paschall was one of six participants in the latest Jazz pre-draft workout on Tuesday at the practice facility, alongside Ole Miss’ Terence Davis, UCF’s Aubrey Dawkins, Washington State’s Robert Franks, Virginia Tech’s Ahmed Hill and Troy’s Jordon Varnado.

Although Paschall won a national title at Villanova as a junior, then averaged 16.
