The Atlanta Hawks have selected Marcus Eriksson with the No. 50 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Erikkson is Atlanta’s first and only selection of the night after the team traded back from its No. 15 pick in the first round for the No. 19 pick, and then traded that selection for Knicks guard Tim Hardaway Jr.

Erikkson is from Sweden. He was ranked as the No. 12 international prospect born in 1993 by DraftExpress. The 6’7 shooting guard has great size for his position and has shown an ability to shoot from the outside.
