The Atlanta Hawks selected FC Barcelona Regal shooting guard Marcus Eriksson with the 50th pick of the 2015 NBA Draft. The young guard recently returned to his Spanish League team following a nearly year-long absence due to a knee injury.
When the Atlanta Hawks picked Marcus Eriksson late in the second-round of this summer's draft, he had not played in a professional basketball game for over 9 months. The Swedish prospect tore his ACL just 5 minutes into his 2014-15 season. The 6'7 sharpshooter is most likely at least two seasons away from being considered for the Atlanta roster.
