Summary:
Enrique Freeman is a strong, energetic combo forward that is having a very good season at Akron this year. He thrives at scoring and rebounding in the paint, and he helped lead Akron to get to the 2024 NCAA Tournament. On the other hand, he’s a tweener whose game may not fit the NBA, as he doesn’t really look to take many outside shots and he’s only an average athlete. Still, his vast production is undeniable, and he could carve out a lengthy playing career in professional basketball.
