    Yeah, I have been checking out what little is available on youtube. Looks far better than a stack of chairs. You can tell he could use some coaching , he does have a clue and makes contact under the hoop.

    I really like him. I think he's going to do good things for us. I highly doubt he's an All-Star caliber player, but I could see a Joel Przybilla type career.

    I like Neil's comparison: Nick Collison.

    that's exactly the kind of player we need. I think that's a great comparison if it works out that way

    Do you think they are similar players?

    I am not saying they are similar players. I'm saying they have similar ceilings. Joel was a solid starting center for this team, and it's possible that Freeland could be at least that, and possibly more depending on how well he scores at this level. Joel was never really a threat on the offensive end, so obviously Freeland could be better based on that alone. I'm just saying my expectations are for a solid starter... not a star, just a solid starter.

    Done.

    All you had to do was ask.

    And then wait 12 years.
