Weaknesses

Aside from Frazier’s game being a little one-dimensional, he also lacks size for his position at the next level. At 6’5″ and 199 pounds, he’s only slightly undersized, but defending in the NBA with those measurements — even with that 6’8″ wingspan of his — could leave him in for a rude awakening.

Although Frazier can attack defenses off the dribble when they close out too recklessly, he still has work to do with his passing. Frazier has an effective midrange shot, and we should cut him a little slack with his overall field goal percentage since so many of his attempts came from long range, but shooting 41.7 percent from the floor left something to be desired.

On the other end of the floor, Frazier has sound defensive principles that were engrained in him by coach Billy Donovan, but he’ll need to fine-tune those principles and contribute more actively on defense to work his way into an NBA rotation.
