A couple of points and this will refer back to coaching:

Freeman isn't a stand-alone being lost at the defensive end.  This is a complete team failure and points directly to coaching.  Nobody can stay in front of their man.  Nobody looks like they have ever fought over a screen before.  Nobody looks like they have ever played transition defense before.  Nobody looks like they have ever played help and recovery defense before.  They honestly look like an 8th-grade travel ball team on the defensive side of the ball.  That is all on coaching as all our players look lost not one individual should be singled out for the mess on that end of the court.

Freeman on offense, he is a young kid you make him play inside out you don't ask him to.   You force-feed him the ball on the mid-post and tell him to go to work especially when he has the size advantage.  I think we went to him 3 times in the post and he scored all three times.  It seemed the coaching staff was more interested in going to Lampkin and Davis in the post and letting Freeman hang out at the 3 point line.

I do agree Freeman is our only chance to turn this season around but the coaching staff needs to help him out here not just roll the ball out and let them figure it out.
