Atlanta Hawks Prospect Watch: Marcus Eriksson

The Hawks selected Sweedish swingman Marcus Eriksson with the 50th pick of the 2015 NBA Draft. He was coming off an ACL tear in Barcalona’s 2014-15 season, but his previous time and physical traits made him a Hawk draft pick regardless. The season before his injury, he played for La Bruixa d’Or in Liga ACB. He was the third-leading scorer at 11.2 points per game, and was one of only six players on the team to play in over 30 games. Doing all of this at the age of 19 will surely rise your draft stock.

The EuroLeague is commonly known as the second-best basketball league in the world, behind only the NBA.
