I’m 50/50 on it, but, mostly agree. I never understood why Freeman is who he decided to go all in on. He’s another bad fit for Pope’s offense & doesn’t seem like he’d mesh well with Diallo, Wilkins & potentially (unlikely) Stokes. All those guys dominate the ball in their own way & Freeman doesn’t provide the spacing that is required from a 4 in this system. Plus, I really don’t want to go thru another injury riddled season.
It could work if Freeman was surrounded by shooters. But, that’s not the case. Spacing would be a nightmare & that is another vital part of the offense. I’m only disappointed in missing on Freeman bc it’s too late to find an adequate replacement. But, like others have said, I’d do everything humanly possible to lure Momcilovic, Murrinen or Graves.
And, FTR, this isn’t cope, lol. I’ve been frustrated with Pope all year & don’t care if he’s fired tomorrow. And, I’ve been complaining all week about the poor fits Pope keeps targeting. Idk what he’s thinking targeting so many below average shooters & ball dominant players when they are the polar opposites of the types of players who would excel in the zoom action. I was never high on Freeman coming here until he was basically our last hope for a potential big impact 4. And, even then, I didn’t LIKE it.
