Freije had a short career in the NBA by playing for the New Orleans Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks, making his impact overseas with the jerseys of Brujos Guayama, Olympiacos, Artland Dragons, Leones Ponce, Fujian and Criollos Caguas where he averaged 20.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1 block per game last season.
