Sakurai is just as weird with character choices as he is with stages. Dr. Mario pre-Melee was just as far-fetched as Paper Mario. In fact both are alternate Marios from spinoffs. If anything Paper Mario has more moveset potential, since Dr. Mario plays extremely similar to Mario while Paper has the hammer, partners, etc. he could use.
 
Anything has moveset potential. Thats not what he decides on who gets into smash, Dr Mario was a quick clone job to pad out the roster.
 
I don't think Paper Mario will ever be playable, and honestly I don't think he ever should be, but he's not an impossibility.
 
Paper Mario may have a shot in like Smash 7 or something, when other more qualifying Mario characters are already in

We got 2 Mario newcomers in this one. If that happens again in the next one my bet's on Waluigi and Paper Mario.

Or we may get a cut and no new newcomers like what happened in Brawl! Considering that most, if not all major Mario characters are already there, Mario doesn't necessarily need any more reps.

And considering how these "alternate" characters work out (eg Dark Pit, Lucina, Dr. Mario, Toon Link, Wolf), all with viable, completely different movesets from their source games ideally, I wouldn't be surprised had Paper Mario made it in, he'd be a clone of Mario.
