Freeman was the 50th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

He also spent a lot of time in the G League last season.

Via Andrew Dukowitz of Zone Coverage: "Quick deep dive into Enrique Freeman

Played just 181 minutes for Indiana last year, and 14 games in the G league, averaging 17.6 points 10.2 boards and 2.8 assists.

He shot 53.8%/36.2%/52.9% and had a 2-1 assist to turnover ratio

Going back to Akron, he’s all around solid, shot 58.4%/37.0%/72.8% his sr season, 12.9 boards and scored 18.6 PPG.

2.5 TOs to 1.6 assists is not ideal as a sr, but his free throw percentage was much better and his G league A-TO ratio suggests with a lesser role playmaking he makes good decisions.

Either way, interesting wing to sign"
