The Pacers withdrew their qualifications from the forward star. His performance in Xia Lian is actually quite good?

According to Keith Smith, founder of Spotrac, the Indiana Pacers have withdrawn the two-way contract qualification quote previously provided to forward star Enrique Freeman. After the Pacers withdrew their qualification offer, Freeman immediately became a full free agent.

Freeman was born in July 2000 and is about to turn 25 years old. He is 201cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is the forward player from the University of Akron in the 50th pick in the second round of the NBA draft last year. In the NBA regular season last season, Freeman made a total of 22 appearances, averaging 8.2 minutes per game, averaging 2.1 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.1 steals, and 0.1 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 43.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 10%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 68.4%. In the playoffs, Freeman was not given a chance to play due to his identity as a two-way contract player. In the NBA Development League last season, Freeman made a total of 16 appearances on behalf of the Pacers' subordinate team Indiana Mad Ants, with averaging 33.6 minutes per game, averaging 16.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 53.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 34%, and free throw shooting percentage was 52.8%.

Freeman did not get any playing time or performance opportunities in the NBA last season. His data is very mediocre and his performance also lacks enough highlights. In the NBA Development League last season, Freeman's performance was actually pretty good. He has a very comprehensive scoring ability and has rich offensive methods. He can create threats in the opponent's interior, he also has certain shooting ability, he can also play a certain effect in passing and supporting, and he also has excellent rebound protection ability and basket protection ability on the defensive end. Overall, Freeman is also a very mature player, and he can also take on a lot of responsibilities on both offense and defense.

In the previous NBA Summer League, Freeman played 5 games in total, with averaging 27.8 minutes per game, averaging 16.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, 2 turnovers and 3.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 72.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 55.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 64.5%. Freeman's performance during the summer league was also remarkable. His scoring ability at the basket was very good, and his stability outside the three-point line was impressive. His offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage were amazing, and he also did a pretty good job in rebounding protection and rim protection. Therefore, it is more or less surprising to be abandoned by the Pacers when they perform well in the summer league.

The Pacers' lineup currently includes two players holding two-way contracts, RayJ Dennis and Quenton Jackson. Taelon Peter, the second round pick in this year's NBA Draft, has not yet received the contract, so the team really needs to adjust the players on both-way contracts. In this case, Freeman's abandonment seemed to be a reasonable thing. However, with Freeman's performance in the summer league, I believe many teams will use him as a candidate for two-way contracts, right?
