    I agree with you. It just seems he's more concerned with playing a PF role than a center one.

    Leonard's just following Aldridge's example--to score, not do big man duties.

    Leonard.

    He was drafted to represent our center of the future. He needs every opportunity to succeed. Freeland is never going to be that for an NBA team. He's a tweener.

    I would not consider Freeland a tweener. In my mind his position is PF. He may be forced to play center out of necessity, but it's not like he is a center in a PF's body, he is a PF in a PF's body.
    The problem these day's is the lack of true centers.

    I voted Freeland but I think they should both get around 10 minutes a night the first couple weeks of the season and whoever plays better wins the full time backup job.
