  13. Enrique Freeman

    Enrique is such a beast.  Most of my favorite Zips have been front court players... Jeremiah Wood, Romeo Travis, Tree Treadwell, Zeke Marshall.  Absolutely all-time Zips greats.  Here we are in year 4 of 'Rique's career and for some reason I still can't get my mind around the fact I'd take Enrique in front of all of them.  

     

    I still remember what I thought was a laughably optimistic over-reaction by @NWAkron to a video which popped up online of Enrique playing well in the Akron-Canton "Defense Optional" Pro-Am summer league.  He looked pretty decent in the video but even after watching it I never thought Enrique would even be put on scholarship.

    Does his playing style remind you of any other Zip player?

    Good question, @Illini Zip.  Tough to say. Not really.  He's built like a shorter Ali Ali, but he didn't post up back to the basket or shoot midrange at all.  He's got a more natural outside shot than Nate Johnson.  But I'm gonna say he's kinda like Nate in that he's going to have to develop just a little bit more confidence & then he's got the potential to be very good.  But in the game I saw he didn't shoot midrange like Nate.  More like Dawson in that it's either at the rim or from 3.  He did cut to the basket a couple of times but the passes he received weren't very good - I would have liked to have seen what he could do had he gotten some decent passes.  He never shot a 3 coming off a screen but I could definitely envision him doing so as he's got a very smooth stroke.

     

    He's a really good ball handler & he looks taller than 6'3" but the Moeller roster lists him at 6'3" so I'll trust them.
