Shout out to Kevin Freeman

[Husky25]

On UConn's 1999 championship team Freeman played the 4. The following year he was moved to the 3. But KFree didn't have the outside shoot to play the college three and was much less effective as teams could sag off him. I don't think he ever played the 2.

IMHO, his move to the 3 by Calhoun was to showcase him to the NBA as he would have gotten killed at the 4 in the NBA. Alas he was a 3/4 teener. Great college player. High end athlete. Incredible motor, Exceptional rebounder. Great teammate.

IIRC, Saunders was developing into a high end 4 as well.

My memories of this was that we had no really serviceable 3 on the roster at that time (Wren, Woodward and Anjou), but we had Saunders who was a 4. It made sense to me now and at that time to play KFree at the 3 and Saunders at the 4 which was his natural position. Granted that KFree was playing out of position and was not as effective as we all hoped and Edmund never lived up to the hype, but at the time it gave us our best lineup considering who we had available.

Wren, Woodward, and Anjou? Law Firm?
