Frazier has a chance to be an elite defender in the NBA if he can provide enough offense to get onto the floor and into the game. He is an athletic wing with quick hands.  ...Frazier made a big jump in production in 2017-18, posting these stats: 15.9 ppg | 5.6 rpg | 2.9 apg | 2.1 spg | 38.5 3-pt % ...7-foot-2 wingspan. ...Tulane was 3.7 points per 100 possessions better on defense with Frazier on the floor. We rarely see such a large number from a shooting guard. ...Frazier improved his free throw shooting each season. He hit 71.2% FT in 2017-18. ...After his first two seasons in negative territory, Frazier had a positive assist-to-turnover ratio as a junior. ...He works well as a cutter on offense, scoring on sneaky reads. He also has a post-up game.   ...Frazier is clearly improving as a player. He has the prerequisite athletic ability to compete in the NBA. We think he will likely end up as a good backup guard that can add value defensively. We expect Frazier to be selected early in the second round.

Good Advice: In 2012, the 41st pick in the NBA Draft was TyShaun Taylor. We advised, "Draft Will Barton."
