The Atlanta Hawks currently own the rights to three players, previously selected in the NBA Draft, still taking the floor overseas. With the 2018 NBA Draft quickly approaching, let’s take a look at how some of those past international investments are doing in their respective leagues.
Marcus Eriksson
Eriksson was a second round pick by the Hawks back in 2015 under the leadership of Mike Budenholzer and Wes Wilcox. At 6’5 and weighing in at 195 lbs. the 24-year-old Eriksson is coming off his best season yet with Barcelona.
In 36 games this season, Eriksson was able to boost his three-point shooting, a skill he was most noted for on draft night three years ago, to a blistering 48 percent on 5.
