Eric Northweather brings needed size, spot-up shooting, and veteran polish to Drake’s frontcourt
Eric Northweather is a 6-foot-10 forward who has given Drake a stretch-big option, flashing three-point range and efficient role-player value in the 2023-24 season, when he played 19 games and averaged 1.8 points with a .345 mark from deep. He’s more useful than the box score suggests: Drake’s roster notes and game coverage highlight that his size addresses a real need for frontcourt length, while his transfer background from Truman State (where he averaged 10.1 points and 4.2 rebounds in the 2021-22 season) points to a player with proven scoring touch and a ready-made fit for a disciplined, spacing-friendly system.
