"He's got a feel for it."

 

Not sure how long Freeman will be a 2 way player.

15 pts 5 reb 2 blk in 14 mins, a +14 rating. Great night for Rique

From the Indy Newspaper:

 

Pacers 121, Hornets 116, end of overtime

Enrique Freeman dominated overtime with nine points and the Pacers rallied back to win a game they trailed by as many as 16 points.

My Twitter/X feed is literally just Enrique Freeman highlights and Guardians walk off videos. What a night.

Considering how bad football is this year and basketball has not started, really happy to see how well Freeman is doing for the Pacers.  This was an article before last nights game.  Makes me wonder if Freeman might get a roster spot on the Pacers considering how he finished the preseason strong:

 

Swider is still on the roster, but he does still have a battle with guard Quenton Jackson and rookies Enrique Freeman and Tristen Newton, who are currently on two-way deals. Swider's outside shooting gives him an advantage, as he's hit five 3-pointers in preseason play and shot 49.1% from 3-point range in Summer League play with the Miami Heat. However, Jackson and Freeman have had particularly strong camp performances so far. Freeman is averaging 7.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game and Jackson is averaging 8.3 points per game.

This is why I always tell people to pump the brakes on Enrique being an NBA prospect.  I think he can get there, but if Romeo Travis never played in the league, I find it tough **right now** seeing Enrique playing in the league. 

So happy to be a Zip fan.  We may not have won an NCAA game but we have a Zip in the NBA.  Amazing trip to the NBA.

It's so surreal seeing a Zips basketball player in the NBA. There's been legitimate hype around him from Pacers fans since the draft. Set my YouTube TV to record all their games this season. I hope he sees legitimate minutes ASAP.

Kent alum Brian Windhorst had better be all over this 😄

Hoping the game tonight is a blowout so Freeman gets some playing time.

Enrique has actually gotten a few minutes of game time in the first half. No stats but he has gotten in.

Enrique is on the board

Freeman playing over Furphy and others... Pretty awesome.

And of course his very first points come on a hustle play - scrambling for a loose ball. 

[MDZip]

Pretty cool for a debut, one in which he could have gotten zero playing time, ended up with 2 points in 7 minutes. Way to go 'Rique! 😊

Game ball for his first NBA points.

I'm old but I didn't realize I was Freeman was born in 2000 old. 🤣😂

Not Enrique news, but this might solidify Enrique on the NBA roster.
