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.

Eric put together a strong sophomore season, averaging 13.6 PPG (45% FG), 6.8 RPG, and 2.0 APG, along with 15 EFF per game. He also knocked down 27 threes at a 33% clip, showing his ability to stretch the floor. There’s real breakout potential here. Van Berkom brings a lot to the table—he’s long, skilled, and plays with excellent timing and instincts. He impacts the game on both ends as a shot blocker, while also showing touch as a perimeter shooter. Simply put, he’s a versatile piece who can do a little bit of everything. College coaches should have him on their radar. Once you get a look at Van Berkom in action, it’s easy to see why his game stands out.
