Yup, we don't go into the season with a true alpha scorer.

We have a bunch of guys who are going to be good, but they are either unknown or "within the flow of the offense" scorers.

Bell can't penetrate well enough to get the ball in isolation, Lampkin isn't an automatic basket the way you want a center in the post, and Starling picks his spots instead of being a deadly isolation guy.  The rest of the team just aren't that level of scorers, although somebody might surprise us during their career (I'm thinking Moore might become great over time.)

My hope is that Freeman becomes that go to guy.  He'll be able to either torture a smaller guy in the post, or take a big guy out to the perimeter and go around or shoot over him. If Freeman is an automatic double team, we have plenty of options to make the defense pay.

If Freeman becomes a dominant scorer, Bell, Starling and Lampkin will be even better.

Our team ceiling closely follows Freeman's ceiling.
