Donnie Freeman's game is more of a 3-4 than a 4-5.  We are in big trouble next season of Freeman plays minutes at center.  It would mean at least three guys are injured or fouled out.

He's tall, and has room to get stronger, but his build reminds me more of Marek Dolezaj, Damone Brown or Hakeem Warrick than Rak Christmas or Rick Jackson.

Freeman has also developed a true jump shot out to three point range, a small forward (sometimes guard-like) handle in addition to his post game.  Freeman is an acceptable  blocker, but nothing special so far.  He'll get weak side blocks as the double team in the post, and occasionally on the Chris Bell coming from behind special, but he'll be little help in the middle as a rim protector.

With his game, Freeman might be able to play some SF next to Brown and whatever center we have.  I'd like him to get most of his minutes next to Bell and Brown.

But if he needs to shift anywhere to make space, it should be as a big small forward, not a completely undersized center.
