Great motor and rebounder (especially offensive rebs).

22 years old and seems mature and well spoken.

Nice stroke, seems like he could develop a decent shot.

We have known for a while that the numbers to keep Biz just aren't there.

We will miss Biz and Pascal may turn out to be a very good replacement.

Actually his competition is even worse than that. New Mexico is in the conference with Wichita St and Baylor, New Mexico State is in a conference called the WAC with these teams:

Cal State Bakerfield
Chicago State
Grand Canyon
Missouri-Kansas City
Seattle
Texas-RGV
Utah Valley

This is a true blue mid major player

Nah at least he has highlights. Hes way way beter then bruno was. Still might be

I'll concede that he doesn't look too bad with his length/athleticism and motor. But he looks incredibly raw and he's not exactly young.

Wright
Powell
Bruno
Siakam
Poetl

ya i heard we wore using IBM Watson for our draft pick (not a joke, look it up)

i hope its algorithim factored in that Paskal played on a horrible NCAA conference where the compitition is weak

I don't know about y'all, but I'm penciling Pascal in to be our starting PF, despite Dwane's objections.
