Erik Persson

Swedish combo guard is an underrated prospect from 2000 generation. Currently resides in new Spanish academy (SBA) and participates in one tier below EBA Liga which would definitely be more appropriate for his development. Persson is extremely efficient scorer on youth level who displays top notch shooting skills. He possess great individual technique. Footwork, handles and coordination allow him to create enough space to get the shoot off the dribble almost at will. He is not overly quick but makes up for the lack of explosiveness with his pace shifting ability. He is also plus defender when he digs in. On the other hand his size is very average and so so playmaking ability raises questions whether he can translate his game on the good European senior level. He doesn’t get to the rim enough and his pick and roll reads are average in best case scenario. Needs to broaden his offensive repertoire to become more than very capable scorer but on low level.
