    Did this guy play in the Blazers' summer league? When I saw him last year in summer play he showed about 2-3 flashes of potential; more specifically he hit a jumper from around 19-20 feet off the dribble, I thought it was pretty impressive for a 6-11 guy. Anybody think he'll be over here in about 2-3 years?

    Yes, he is playing in summer league, and he has done a pretty good job defensively off the bench in both games. It's just summer league, but he's very active and looks to be a good shot blocker. I'm not sure about his contract situation overseas, though.

    Freeland is England's best, and probably only NBA prospect. [​IMG] Basketball is not big there and he gets no attention, apparently he has a lot of potential, he will probably stay stashed overseas for the next couple seasons.

    I think he will stay overseas this coming season then come to the states the next year. I wouldnt be suprised if we traded him tho. Weve got enuff big men to develop... (oden, mcroberts, frye, aldridge...)
