Big body, limited sample, still a development project
In the 2025-26 season, Ryan Erikson gave North Dakota a 6'10", 250-pound frontcourt presence, appearing in nine games and averaging 1.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 4.8 minutes off the bench[6]. His value is more projection than production right now: the size is real, he has a local-Bismarck background, and his collegiate track record shows only modest shooting efficiency so far, so he reads as a developmental fit rather than an immediate-impact big[1][6][7].
