I don't see how Autry is trying to imitate Huston. There is a little more to doing that than having a 6'9 center.

What I think they are trying to do is find the perfect match for Freeman.

Freeman has the potential to be an elite scorer, so pairing him with another big who needs the ball won't work. Better a dunker who gets garbage baskets.

Freeman isn't a good defender and should be guarding the other team's worst scoring big man.  A lot of the time that's going to be a center.  If you pair Freeman with a traditional 7 foot lumbering shot blocker, Freeman is going to have to guard the power forward even if that guy is a Cooper Flagg type great scorer. If we have someone next to Freeman who is big enough to guard centers but mobil enough to guard power forwards, we can do a better job of hiding Freeman based on match ups.

Time will tell if it works or not, but it seems clear to me they have a plan, they know what they want and are going out and getting it. Can't ask for more than that at this time of year.
