Yeah, Freeman really needs to learn to rotate to help defense as a big. He was still making the decision to help while the layup was going in half the time.autry was very displeased with freemans defense. when he took him out for the final time, you could see autry roll his eyes almost like you are forcing me to take you out right now.
Knowing when to rotate could be the easiest fix he'll ever make as a player, or it could be a lifelong problem that drums him out of the league in two years. Sometimes you can't teach defensive instincts.
I really hope it's the former, and he's got it down by mid season.
He has the physical skills to be a great helpside shotblocker, his mental game is the problem so far. And Lemoyne isn't as fast as many of the teams we'll play this year.
Right now, Freeman really can't be the choice as backup center, however Red feels about McLeod. He's just too slow to get to the middle.
