Despite the loss to Pack in the 16u quarterfinals, Eric put in a strong performance that had his team in the game until the very end. At 6’5 he’s a bit of a hybrid wing/forward, with a strong frame to compete in the paint, and a sweet stroke from three. On multiple occasions ND Phenom had him come off a screen for backdoor lobs, where he showed touch and coordination to catch and finish in one smooth motion. Pick & pop threat who can quickly get his feet set to catch-and-shoot off the move.
