Do Freeman and Laurent have similar games?

It's been so long since we've seen Freeman play that I forgot.

Freeman is definitely a power forward while Laurent is ideally a wing. He is playing 4 and sometimes 5 out of necessity.

What I mean, though, is that neither really stretches the floor. They both benefit from great passing and finishing around the rim. Laurent took and made a 3 today, I think. Can he develop that shot?

No. Freeman will do the dirty work for us where Laurent will be that scorer that we need. When Freeman comes back you will see something that is rarely seen in a Rutgers uniform, which is his strength-boxing out.

that is what you want to see. might be different than what you will actually see

Not even close..Freeman will pound the offensive glass and can crate his own shot without running into the other team and instead drawing a foul. Laurent today went into the thick of the defense 3 times for turnovers or blocked shots. I doubt that will happen to Freeman.
Defensively Freeman will be a better rebounder and shot blocker.
Laurent shot he three well early in the year before he got hurt. He also looks like he can drive and has to learn when to do it. Once he starts hitting that outside shot, he can pump fake and drive to the hole. He could turn out a valuable part of the team in the next few years.
