Frederik Erichsen

2006-born Danish prospect was not one of the best performers overall but the games against Panathinaikos and Bayern were really intriguing. Erichsen did not shy away from attacking to the rim and either finished well or got fouled. He also showed that he has all the tools to become an efficient 3-point shooter in his pro career.  He is not a true playmaker but operated well as the secondary ball-handler and facilitator, his ball handling skills and court vision are just fine. He might be an underrated rebounder too in the future, showed some glimpses of it during his time in Munich. Erichsen averaged 8.3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist and in the 2 games that he got more than 20 minutes, he scored 15 and 16 points efficiently which is promising for the Danish prospect’s future.

Frederik Erichsen (F | 205 cm | ‘06) ~ Denmark

15.9 pts, 5.1 reb, 1.7 ast, 1.1 stl, 0.4 blck, 3.1 to, FG 37.9%, 3P 19.4%, FT 80.0%

Erichsen has an intriguing long-term potential and he is a player that you must keep an eye on. He handles the ball really well for a player his size and he didn’t have many problems with bringing the ball to the rim. Possesses a wide arsenal of ball handling tricks and has potential to play as a point forward in the future. His body control on drives was good and he showed good touch at the rim too. Made some good passes and showed good passing touch but sometimes his team mates weren’t on the same wavelength as him because the talent difference between them was just too big and they didn’t understand his idea. Shooting motion looks good and shots will start falling in in the future. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for him and with the right development in the next few years he could turn into a player for the highest level.
