Updated as of 3/8/2023, scouting report written by Alan Lu.

Height: 6-4
Weight: 205
College: West Virginia
Classification: Fifth-Year Senior
Birthdate: 4/28/1999

Projected Draft Range: Likely Undrafted

Pros:

Decent shooter
Decent scorer off the dribble
Moves fairly well off the ball on offense
Adequate playmaker
Adequate rebounder for his size

Cons:

Middling shooter in his first four seasons
Lacks an elite first step off the dribble
Prone to hoisting up questionable shots
Can be turnover prone
Can be undisciplined defensively
Only an average athlete

Summary:

Erik Stevenson is a skilled combo guard that can score the basketball in a variety of ways, and he is also a solid facilitator that can play either backcourt position.  As a sophomore at Wichita State, he scored 19 points, and had 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals in his team’s win over South Carolina.  He had transferred to Washington and South Carolina, but he did not play well in those seasons.  He will need to be a more consistent shooter and he will need to improve his defense. 

Recently, he decided to transfer to West Virginia, and he is having a solid season this year. Currently, he may be a long shot to be drafted, but he is a skilled player that could carve out a long, playing career in professional basketball.
