Will for sure be pulling for Freeman. He's old, but he's shown such steady improvement through his college career that I can see that continuing. Crazy rebounder, super smart (although he doesn't pass well). Insanely consistent production. Probably going to be my favorite sleeper of the draft
Good from three (low volume) efficient inside elite rebounder great secondary rim protection gritty short great athleticism old player comp: Josh Hart

FREEMAN PLAYS EXCELLENT AROUND THE BASKET. FINISHES WELL AND CAN PLAY BACK TO THE BASKET AS WELL. HE ALSO SHOWED AN ABILITY TO PASS THE BALL WELL IN COLLEGE, WHICH WILL COME IN HANDY IF HE CAN'T SPACE THE FLOOR. HE'S AGGRESSIVE ON THE OFFENSIVE GLASS AND CAN CONTEST SHOTS WELL. HE'S ONLY 6'8 AND SHOULD REALISTICALLY BE MORE OF A 5 WHICH IS ONCE AGAIN WHERE THE CONCERNS START TO COME IN. FOR THAT REASON I CAN'T HAVE HIM ABOVE FLIP, BUT HE'S RIGHT IN THAT REALM, AND SHOULD BE AROUND IN THE SECOND ROUND.
