Richard Freudenberg, SF, Germany - ST. JOHN'S

If we are only going to compare him to white guys, Dunleavy is the obvious choice IMO.

By all means compare him to a black guy. If I had to I would say Sidney Poitier.

Hahaha now we're talking.

I was thinking a slightly taller Richard Hamilton. 

Rip was a scorer deluxe. Inside, outside, mid range game.

In the highlight reels I've watched, RF is a hell of a scorer too.  The guy NEVER misses!

"Richard Freudenberg has been fantastic all tournament with 14 points and 13 rebounds for his third straight double-double – though he did only hit 3-of-12 shots, including 1-of-6 threes. He has really been great all tournament at pushing the ball after getting rebounds. All told he has 33 rebounds in 66:24 minutes of action – eight of which came on the offensive end. From the outside, Freudenberg has hit 5-of-13 three-pointers (38 percent)."

Actually, it looks like the three USA players mentioned are considered good college prospects. Look at the list of schools recruiting these players. This tournament may be more challenging than some thought. (Me included)

Ive seen Quinton Rose play. Had no idea who he was before the game. I knew after.

In win over Serbia, RF went for 16 & 10 in 21 minutes, but did not shoot well. (6/15).

@heinnews

After 4 days at #AST2016 I'd have Top 5 no position: Freudenberg Radanov Kenyon Vaulet Mushidi - others: Glisic Mokoka Moretti Zhu Ndoye

Tough kid as noted in article about today's win over Serbia;

Freudenberg had a very strong outing and received the award for the best SF of the tournament. Extremely talented freshman with huge upside.

i like seeing him not be afraid to go inside...

just hope he can pack on some extra mass to his frame. 

A big man who can handle the ball, can learn how to post up and back his man down. We need big men that can do that.

Kid looks impressive.  I like how he's able to square up his shot, even on the move.  Can handle a bit in the open court as well as play down low.  Looking pretty good here.

I like how he doesn't feel the need to only shoot 3's. Number of times in that video where he had an open 3 but took a few steps in to take a higher percentage shot. Shows some good decision making.
