Joel Freeland struggling to adjust to NBA
Joel Freeland - F/C - Portland Trail Blazers
March 8, 2013 - 7:35 AM ET

Blazers coach Terry Stotts said rookie Joel Freeland is still struggling to adjust to the speed of the NBA game.

Freeland, a 26-year-old rookie, has really underwhelmed during his brief tenure in the league thus far. Averaging 2.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in under nine minutes per game, Freeland is only shooting 39 percent from the field while appearing in 34 games. Freeland is putting in extra work after practice, but we're not expecting things to suddenly click.
