The Milwaukee Bucks have had success with seniors in the NBA Draft of late, could Eric Paschall of Villanova fit that same bill?

The Milwaukee Bucks used their 2018 NBA Draft pick to select a player who won a national championship with Villanova, and now our 2019 draft profiles open up with another national championship-winning Wildcat, Eric Paschall.

Paschall missed out on Villanova’s 2016 success having just transferred from Fordham, but he ultimately got the chance to taste that same kind of success when his team emerged victorious again in 2018.

Following that win, key Villanova players such as Mikal Bridges, Omari Spellman, Jalen Brunson and the Bucks’ Donte DiVincenzo moved on to the NBA and, as a result, Paschall was tasked with taking on a bigger role than ever in his senior season.

By no means did he buckle under that pressure either, producing a strong individual campaign and earning First Team All-Big East honors in the process.

In addition to the success Jay Wright’s team has had in picking up two national championships since 2016, they’ve been producing solid NBA role players at an increasingly frequent rate. Could Paschall become the latest player to join that group?

Let’s take a closer look at the various elements that factor into Paschall’s status as a prospect, along with how he’d fit with the Bucks if Milwaukee opted to pick him at No. 30.
