The Turkish League best scorer joins CSKA!

Thus, eight of the nine possible positions for a foreign player are occupied on the team. The EuroLeague clubs are allowed to sign new players until February 23.

Freeman is a graduate of North Carolina State University. Despite a successful senior season in the NCAA (he was named ACC player of the week twice, honorable mention All-ACC and an Academic All-ACC selection), Alleric was not selected in the NBA draft and began his career abroad. For four years he played in Romania, Turkey, China and France. Freeman made his debut in the EuroLeague for ASVEL last season, played in 18 games (13 starts), scored 7.4 points (42.2% of three-pointers) in 20.8 minutes.

Allerik is the leader of the Turkish Championship in scoring this season with Bursaspor, he averaged 20.5 points on 49.4% of three-point shooting, 3.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.6 minutes in 15 games. His averages in 9 EuroCup games are 19.6 points (43.9% of three-pointers), 2.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.8 steals in 34.6 minutes.

Dimitris Itoudis, head coach of CSKA:

Freeman is bringing scoring abilities, the ability to create space and separation by being ready to drive to the basket or shoot from long distance, setting up his own shots or shots for his teammates. He is at a good age, he has experience of playing in the EuroLeague for ASVEL. Obviously, he understands that he is coming to the team with many good players; healthy competition will help the team more. In the uncertain situation that we have with many players and coaches getting sick, we need a longer roster. Now it's on him and on us, teammates and coaches, to help him make a quick adjustment.

I’m happy and excited to be a part of CSKA. To have the chance to wear the CSKA jersey and to compete for one of the most historical clubs is an honor! I’m ready to help the team in any way I can!
