Donnie Freeman McD AA Game Thread

[Brooky03]

Freeman doesn’t play much in the paint. Hangs on the perimeter a lot.

This style of game isn’t conducive to post play.

It looks like the McDonaldsAA website posts the stats after the game, based on last year. 2023 Media Resources

Appreciate you.

Freeman’s shot looks smooth.

For 3!!!!

Donnie is going to need to add A LOT of muscle in the offseason. He’s getting bullied for every rebound. He’s got KD legs.

They've been talking up Donnie the last few minutes.

1st take reminds me of a better Benny Williams. Better handle, shot and motor. Likes to hang around the arc.

Let’s hope he’s a consistent deep threat next year. We need to improve our outside shooting.

The more I watch him the more I realize he could play SF alongside Maliq at PF. It’s really depressing Maliq decided to bail.

This sideline reporter is awful

 

[Orangezoo]

He was very good in scrimmage vs this game

 

[MikeSU02]

Biggest takeaway for me re Donnie was his size. He legit has height and looks fluid.

I don’t take too much else from these games.

I was waiting for somebody else to say it. She’s been tripping over her words and her questions suck.

Buzzer beater!!!!

Donnie Buzzer Beater!

 

[Cusefan0307]

Freeman can shoot. He reminds me a bit of Jabari Smith.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Buzzer beater by Donnie!!

Stretch 4.

Nice shot by Donnie to beat the buzzer.
He looks more like a 3 than a 4.

For those that haven’t seen a lot of Donnie, he hangs out on the perimeter a decent amount but he does have a really nice low post game when he goes to it. I think he’s seeing his perimeters skills continue to develop and trying to show that off since it’s so highly coveted from bigs nowadays but he has a wide range of moves on the block if he sees a mismatch down there.

Glad he is coming to Syracuse he looks like a special talent.

So nothing like Benny Williams but tall, skinny and hanging around the outside?

I would also say its his first real opportunity to be playing along side a real center instead of playing the 5 like he does in high school. All he really knows in this game is he's not the man in the middle which is leaving him to hang around the perimeter. And yes he can shoot.

Benny wishes his shot like 10% as pretty as Freeman’s.

Where’s the buzzer beater? Anyone got it?
