In college he played for four seasons at Baylor University with which he reached the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2017. In the 2017/18 season he plays at North Carolina State with whom he starts in the quintet in 32 NCAA collegiate championship games.

In July 2018 he played the Summer League with the Sacramento Kings jersey before starting his professional career in Europe with Alba Fehervar, Hungary, with whom he averaged 14.8 points in 29 games and also played in the FIBA Europe Cup. The following season he moved to Turkey to Frutti Extra Bursaspor where he recorded 18.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, before moving to the Chinese Shenzhen Leopards in January 2020 (25.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game). In the 2020/21 season he made his Euroleague debut with ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne with whom he played 18 games in Europe’s top competition (7.4 points) and 7 league games (13.3 points). In January 2021 he returned to China for a brief stint with the Qingdao Eagles.

“I am sincerely excited to join such an ambitious and important club as Reyer, which I thank for strongly wanting me. This club in recent years has shown that it wants to compete for important goals and I am very motivated to contribute to Reyer’s future successes. This will be a completely new situation for me because I do not personally know anyone within the club, but as I said, given Reyer’s recent history I am sure the motivation will be the same as mine. Besides, I have already been to Italy and Venice a couple of times, but only in passing. I’m looking forward to finding out, I’m eager to get started, see you soon!” said Freeman on his first day as an orogranata.
