Freeman looks really good for a 6'9"guy handling the ball.  We had high hopes for Benny Williams, but Freeman had a couple highlights dribbling that make Williams' best dribbling moves look awkward.

If Freeman winds up guarded by a guy like NC State's Burns, we want Burns to play up on him to guard the three, so Freeman can go around him and dunk.

I know this is Freeman's upside, he might not be able to do it next year... He just keeps getting better and better, though.

EDIT: I just watched some more recent highlights. One was a whole game where IMG was beating up on a badly overmatched opponent, so quality of competition warning.

Freeman has a true jump shot out to three point range.  It's slow, but he's actually getting up a bit and has a pretty high release, so he should be able to get it off when he's open.

He also did a couple nice looking Euro step drives to finish at the rim.  He doesn't usually seem to try to drive in the half court yet, but will dribble in transition, all the way to the basket if you let him.

He also had a couple sweet outlet passes.
