I just want him to get picked and go to a good situation. Oh bc Bronny is a terrible player and would never get drafted if he didn't ride his daddies coattails. Why do you think Bronny should possibly go ahead of Freeman? The guy averaged an abysmal 4.8 ppg in college. Freeman is light years better 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman is better than a lot of these players going before him, IMO. Not sure why anyone would focus on any one in particular. All I care about is Enrique getting picked and getting an opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because Northeast Ohio media will spend hours talking about whether or not the Cavs should draft Bronny but won't even spend 10 seconds mentioning that a local kid is a draft prospect and could be drafted. That's why I believe AkronAlumnus wants Freeman drafted before Bronny, but at this point, I just want to see Enrique get drafted. I'm not even worried about the situation right now.

akzipper Posted Thursday at 10:00 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:00 PM Definitely bittersweet to see Freeman get drafted by the Pacers. I really wanted him to end up in Cleveland. I don't think I could ever root for the Pacers, but I hope he balls out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoZips94 Posted Thursday at 10:04 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:04 PM Perfect team to go to. Haliburton is a great person, and we might see Freeman get airtime on McAfee which would be good for his brand and Akron. He'll be coming back to Cleveland quite often. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry was he would go to a team that may have a full G League team but he may start in G League, but could be a 2 way contract player. He'll be on a decent summer league team with Jerace Walker, Ben Sheppard (not sure if he'll play summer league), Furphy, & Newton. July 12-22 will be the summer league in Vegas.

1981 grad Posted Thursday at 10:14 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:14 PM Congrats to Freeman. Great to see Akron on the draft board. Groce deserves a great deal of credit for giving him an opportunity to develop as a player and then developing a great relationship with him to keep him at Akron. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think "Northeast Ohio Media" I think of TV/print/online. ABJ, PD, WKYC, WEWS, and others have all been giving Freeman fantastic exposure throughout his draft process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
