D FREEMAN PREDICTION

[wrsu/74]

DF will play at the SF position and excell.Lewis,Foreman,Diallo and Shaq will combine to fill the 4 and 5 spots.Laurent will back up DS at the 3.

I could see Lewis at the 4. Seems he has dropped some weight. I believe freeman played a lot of power forward at hutchsinson but not positive.

It'll be fun to see the opening days starting lineup. Couple different options. How successful each will be, not sure. But guard heavy, decent centers. Who knows how it'll shake out.

 

[wrsu/74]

Freeman's natural position is at SF.Lewis wants to play pro somewhere and his best opportunity will be as a PF.I expect Diallo and Foreman to get a lot of PT.

 

[higgins3]

Is it?I didn't know that. I agree with Diallo and Foreman. Foreman showed a lot of potential last year.

I can see a lot of three guard sets than the standard 12345 we're used to seeing. It will all depend.

Carmelo is a natural SF, but played PF at Cuse. Durant played PF at Texas. Jabari Parker is a SF but played PF/C at Duke. College game is not the NBA. Freeman is a college "4".

Those teams didn't have the luxury of size, especially duke two years ago. I agree with you that he will play the four but I think that because our other bigs arent athletic enough to set the high screens and handle the ball at the top of the key, which EJ asked the 4 to do a lot of last year.

You can make the 3 and 4 in Eddies offense to be pretty interchangeable....the real question is can a Foreman and Freeman combo at the 3/4 in whatever order match up on defense in man schemes?

I'd think against a lot of teams, especially weaker OOC, this is the issue. Obviously haven't seen Freeman play yet.

 

[higgins3]

If Sanders and Williams play together and could play some good defense, issues elsewhere wouldn't be AS much of a problem.

The offense has been rumored to be undergoing some changes with the shift in personnel...

Can't wait to see how this all plays out. Looking forward to watching this team take shape on the floor in the coming months

 

[TruJerz]

the few articles I read about Freeman coming to RU indicated that he's coming here to replace Etou at the PF spot. Can things change? possibly but I think he's almost a lock at PF although I would also like to see what he can do at the SF spot too. But other than him being a great athlete, I don't really know his game very well..time will tell where he's best suited

I am also excited to see how it turns out. Bk, do you see any switch between the 4 and 5? Maybe Lewis at 4?

Maybe some games a 3guard approach, others a more traditional one. Should be interesting!
