Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 5205901, member: 837"] I'd say more like 14 or 15 and 7. Freeman will likely be a more talented and versatile threat offensively. He could well be a solid defender but hard to say as a freshman. But you're also looking at, in all likelihood, a much higher usage rate and lower shooting percentage (true shooting or straight FG %). Likely more turnovers as well. Brown is a complementary player for sure ... at least he was last season and likely will be again this season. But, having said that, he is almost purely additive. Doesn't need the ball, rebounds well, defends well, plays defensively on the perimeter, finishes well inside and gets to good spots with subtle off-ball movement. He's limited, but super efficient and the type of kid that good teams have -- kids that make a difference despite not being the star. I'm excited about Freeman but I'm not convinced the loss of Brown won't hurt this team. [/QUOTE]
