I think you two are arguing over a moot point. Freeman is a very good post player, maybe too good to be guarded by most power forwards. We all are so excited about his perimeter skills that we forgot his full skill set.

He was a top50 recruit based on his post skills before he developed the handle and perimeter shooting. He shot up the rankings from mid 40’s to 8th overall his senior year because of his offensive versatility. But as a post player, Freeman is pretty much Rick Jackson. He’s the guy we can send into the post if we are struggling in scoring other ways.

I’m not convinced Kyle is incompetent there either. UCLA absolutely misused him, but Kyle was quite good at South Dakota State. He showed some skill in those highlights, he didn’t just big boy the mid majors, like you might expect.

Best of all, we have a bunch of perimeter players who have actually been coached to feed the post. George to Kyle might be a frequent play by play call this year, and not just on alley oop passes.
