Erickson, a wing out of Gardner High School in Massachusetts, appears on the Watch List for the second time in this update. Erickson has quickly made a name for himself at Gardner as he fills the role of a prototypical modern day forward. He knocks down shots from behind the arc on one end and protects the rim on the other, utilizing a nice combination of skill, length, and athleticism. He has a high level feel for the game defensively, and while he spends most of his time around the rim, has really impressed with his instincts as a shot blocker and motor on the glass. Offensively, he’s capable of making plays around the rim with either hand and really makes it hard for opposing forwards with his ability to stretch the floor as a shooter.
