Freddie McSwain Jr. brings old-school glue-guy value to Indiana
In the 2017-18 season, Freddie McSwain Jr. gave Indiana rugged frontcourt minutes, averaging 4.2 points and 4.5 rebounds while ranking second on the team with 60 offensive boards, a good sign of his hustle and nose for extra possessions. He’s a 6-foot-6 forward with energy, athleticism, and physicality, and reports consistently framed him as an impactful rebounder despite being a bit undersized for the position. The catch: he’s not a high-usage scorer or floor-spacer, so he fits best as a hard-playing role guy who boosts effort, rebounding, and toughness.
