Matt Freije cut


Matt Freije (6'10 240 SF) cut by Bucks today. He played well for the Bucks' summer league team, averaging 11.8 ppg (2nd on team) as well as being the 2nd leading shot blocker, while leading the team in FG% and 3-point FG%. But in the preseason, his few minutes shrunk by the game, going from 20 to 15 to 13 to a few sub-10s and a couple DNPs. His best game was an 11 point night on 5-6 shooting in 13 minutes against Detroit.

Matt played briefly with the Hornets in '04-05 and the Hawks in '06-07 but has yet to find a season-long home in the NBA.

He played for Vanderbilt from 2000 to 2004, leaving as Vandy's all-time leading scorer, and was named First Team All-SEC as a senior, when he averaged 18.4 ppg and 5.4 rpg.

Good luck to Matt finding a basketball home elsewhere this year.
