When it comes to scoring guards Freeman has all the tools.
First and foremost he plays with a great deal of confidence; you can see in his
eyes he is fearless and ready to compete. With exceptional length he has a great court
presence. No doubt he passes the eye test.
His scoring mentality is evident every time he touches the
ball as he looks to attack his defender. An excellent athlete who plays hard,
he's a big-time shooter in every since of the word displaying solid mechanics
that speaks to hours in the gym – always a natural shooter we are seeing
combination moves into shots and well as your simple one step / two-step
dribble pull-up showing a strong fundamental base to his game.
Freeman can score from anywhere on the floor. In transition
he sprints the wing and is a threat to get all the way to the rim and finish
through contact if a defender is present or shoot his jumper that could vary
from a mid-range pull up in the lane or a deep 3 ball. He is very good at using
his length around the basket and in the paint to get his shots off and we look
his creativity with the ball as a shooter scorer and ball-handler.
He can shoot off the catch after receiving a screen or get
his own shot by breaking his defender down off the deck with the bounce. He is
great at creating space with his multiple crossovers and hesitation moves to
escape from a defender and can always rely on this to get to the basket with
his ability to go right and left. We see
no reason why intellectually or skill wise why he can’t be a high level scoring
lead guard which we feel is his final destination; right now he is already one
of the top combo guards in the class.
