Freeman is a gifted athlete. He does many things well on offense, but his defense needs to improve. Some of that is just not understanding where and when he needs to be.
The thing that bothered me the most last night was his lack of valuing the ball. Holding the ball low, trying to put it on the floor at the wrong time.
But he was better than some of our older players. We need to remember that he is only a freshman. A talented one but needing to learn important skills to make that talent shine.
He doesn't need to be compared to anyone but only to his potential.
