Not a conclusion, just an observation.
Could be chemistry, could be when Sadiq played with the starters he was more comfortable. Maybe they all checked out. I really don't know but we haven't seen the tough defense since Donnie returned. Maybe they felt they had to pick it up when Donnie was out and let down when he came back.

So, you conclude that Freeman is so bad for team chemistry that everybody on the team quit because he is back on the roster?

Freeman doesn't like playing physical on both ends of the court.

It doesn't appear that way. Maybe more size and strength would help, maybe not.

Being a McDonald’s All American isn't the same as When DC came here. AAU has ruined the game in a major way. Fundamentals are thrown out the windows for spectacular plays. That's why so many players from overseas end up being better NBA players. They grow up playing the right way all their life.
