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 has since transferred to Washington, but he did not have a very good junior season. He will need to significantly improve his jump shot and he will have to defend better than he did this year, but if he can play as well as he did as a sophomore, he could end up having a decent senior season.
