What would you expect from Freeland if he comes over next season?

[Further]

He had a good year and is showing that he is an efficient player overseas. A good rebounder and can score a little as well. http://www.euroleague.net/features/interviews/euroleague-2010-11/i/82402/4936/joel-freeland-unicaja

But I never really know how players will translate to the NBA. But he is big and we need those. I know that last year the Blazers tried to get Freeland over here, and this season Freeland was even better, so I can only assume that the Blazers will once again try and bring him over.

The same thing we got from our other last white rookie!

^ I saw that cartoon character the other day on TV! I cracked up and thought of you son!

 

[Nikolokolus]

I would expect he'll finally visit a dentist and an orthodontist.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I have no clue what to expect.

Cool. I think of you every time I see this dude.

What are you implying about British Dentistry?

To answer the question: limited playing time if Nate is the coach. I expect him to go for blocks that he shouldn't go for, and be easy to pump-fake and bully in the post.

5/5/1 in 12 mpg. People will wonder why we signed him instead of Pendegraph.

 

[Sedatedfork]

He should be the new GM.

 

[RR7]

If he gave us 5/5/1 in 12 mpg, nobody would think about Pendergraph

Not sure what you are saying here? Nate won't play him because he Sucks, (easy to pump-fake and bully in the post) or because of other reasons?????

Good point. I'll revise.

2/2/0.5

He's been in the top-5 in PER the past few season in the ACB. If he came over I'd think he'd be an instant impact guy off the bench.

Ah, them Euro's....how many of them actually translated into good players?

His skillset usually does. He's a garbage man, not your typical face-up Euro big.

 

[Harry's Raincoat]

Unfortunately, he'd give us about 6 ppg, 3 rpg, and about 4.5 fpg in about 10 mpg

I would guess the percentage of hits to misses with drafted euros is probably better than the hits to misses with drafted college players.

He's a younger.....slower....less athletic...... more handsome Brian Cardinal.

There's such a thing as British dentistry? Wow, who knew?!

Greg would disagree. During SPL practice in '07 Joel Freeland posterized Greg more than once.

I think that was Petro he dunked on not Greg FAMS!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

It was a team practice when a healthy Greg was getting smashed on by Freeland. Not a regular VSPL game.
