Suzuki Manresa (ACB) and Marcus Eriksson ('93) have reached an agreement and the swedish guard will sign for the spanish team. The prospect is actually playing with his U-18 NT the Nordic Championships in Solna, in his home country. Yesterday he nailed 17 points with 5/9 behind the arc in the victory over Norway (49-69), and today swedish squad won again, in this case against Iceland (77-67) with 13 points and 3/6 threes from the 1.92 player.
Eriksson -who was in Manresa practicing some weeks ago (watch the video)- finished last summer as the fourth best scorer of the Division "B" U-16 European Championship, held in Portugal. In eight games he poured 19.1 points (51% on threes), pulled down 4.8 boards and dished 1.8 assists. He made 8/12 threes against Hungary and 7/10 to the austrians.
