The 17-year-old son of former Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia took to Instagram to thank his coaches and mentors for their support throughout his journey.\n\nStanding at 6 feet 4 inches, Davit is developing as a sharp-shooter, but his coach Marcus Schroeder highlighted his dynamic game, emphasizing his ability to drive to the basket and finish, post up effectively, and make plays out of the block. His play-making skills and shooting accuracy make him a valuable asset to any team.\n\nBorn and raised in the Bay Area, Davit spent a significant portion of his childhood under the guidance of his father, Zaza, who played for the Warriors during their 2017 and 2018 championship seasons. Following his retirement in 2019, Zaza joined the Warriors front office as a consultant.\n\nThe USF Don team concluded the 2025-26 season with a record of 25-10 overall and 13-5 in the West Coast Conference, earning an invitation to the NIT tournament.",
