Joel Freeland

[Joel Embust]

Hello Blazers fans!


I remember you taking this kid with the 30th a few years ago. Do you think that he'll ever play for Portland, or any NBA team for that matter?

I liked what I saw from him during the summer. He's only 21 so he has some potential. How is he doing overseas?

He's played summer league and seems to be improving. Still, he's had some trouble getting off the bench overseas. He apparently wants to be in Portland. I could see Freeland as an NBA player, but he isn't really a priority because of the Blazers' depth. Maybe they could bring him over after one of the 5-for-1 trades proposed on the trade board frees up some roster spots.

I could see him being the second coming of Federico Kammerichs. I seriously doubt he ever makes an impact in the NBA.
