NC State’s volume scorer with deep-range juice and veteran poise
In the 2017-18 season, Allerik Freeman gave NC State a reliable go-to guard, averaging 16.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists while hitting 38.5% from three and 77.6% at the line[1][3][7]. He brings NBA-sized guard toughness, shot-making confidence, and enough secondary playmaking to punish single coverage, but his biggest value is the pressure he creates as a high-usage scorer who can get hot fast[3][4]. The catch: his efficiency was more streaky than silky, so he fits best on a team that wants an aggressive creator rather than a low-mistake, pass-first lead guard[1][4].
