Georgetown John Thompson III isn’t very sure how much growing guard Austin Freeman weighs.
He doesn’t on the whole care, either. As long as the performer remains productive, the teacher will be happy.
Thompson isn’t concerned that Freeman a former five-star overlook precipitously has this temporary. The 6-foot-4 Freeman weighed in at 241 at the Nike Paul Pierce Skills Academy in Los Angeles, 25 more than any other collegiate wing who attended and 31 pounds over his itemized weight on the Hoyas’ official Web site.
“You me to look at my Web site for the former time in 10 months,” Thompson told Rivals.com Thursday. “In at it, what I judge is of any kind med student did it put Austin’s weight in next to Nikita Mescheriakov. He (Mescheriakov) is recorded at 241 on the Web site and he’s not close to that.”
In fact, Mescheriakov and DaJuan Summers are both enumerated at 241 on the Internet site. In last season’s Georgetown media influence, Freeman is listed at 220, Mescheriakov at 205 and Summers at 240.
“I didn’t know he was at that weight (241), but I don’t know any of them,” Thompson said. “I knew he was in that radius.
“There’s no fear approaching his weight. No, he hasn’t put on 30 pounds. All I’m told his he very well there (at the Pierce camp), and that’s what to me.”
Freeman 9.1 points and 3.0 rebounds last season. He shot 51.3 , including 40 percent from 3-top reach (40 of 100).
With the departures of leading scorer Roy Hibbert (13.4 ppg) and third-chief Jonathan Wallace (10.7 ppg), the Hoyas want to see Freeman expand his scoring role, irrespective of whether his waistline expands.
