Kind of surprised Frazier wasn't drafted as most mock drafts had him in the middle of the 2nd round.

Frazier is a great spot up shooter, but he's not great off the dribble and he can't create his own shot. He's a great free throw shooter, but he doesn't get to the line often to take advantage of that. He's not good at driving to the rim and is a mediocre finisher when he gets there. He boxes out and rebounds pretty well, but he doesn't have good lateral quickness and struggles defending quicker guards. He's also on the small side for an nba shooting guard, but doesn't have the handle, speed or playmaking ability required to play the point.

^This. Not sure what he was told by his advisers, but a mere fan like myself could see that his game isn't near NBA ready. Honestly, not sure he has the athleticism to ever play in the NBA. Great shot, but not much more than that.

I'll give you a great Kentucky comparison. Doron Lamb. Similar sized shooting guard who shot 48% from 3 point range compared to Frazier's 43%. Lamb has a better handle, is quicker, got more assists, is better off the dribble, and went into the draft as the second leading scorer on a national championship team. He was drafted in the middle of the second round in 2012 and is already out of the nba.
The only thing Frazier does better is rebound which isn't exactly what teams are looking for from a role player whose job is to provide offense and spacing.
Frazier has a summer league roster spot with the warriors and he has a tremendous work ethic. Hopefully he can improve his game and make the team.

Wilbekin also got a summer league invite from the magic. No invite yet for Walker. http://www.heraldtribune.com/articl...Frazier-Wilbekin-get-NBA-summer-league-chance

I think Frazier has a better stroke and probably shoots a higher percentage spot up. Lamb is more athletic and gets more open shots.

It just goes to show what a huge mistake both Walker and Frazier made. At least Frazier is getting a shot, but Walker will be overseas next year and probably not even in a great league overseas. Walker needed the time in college to refine and learn the game and if he had the right work ethic he had the potential to be a NBA player.
Frazier need the year in college to get a degree. If you aren't able to do what you need to do in 3 years at Florida the forth probably wasn't going to matter from an NBA perspective.

At some point, shouldnt it be about getting a college degree and setting yourself up to be productive in society? Paint me old fashioned but Im still of the opinion that college is for scholastic education, not sports development.
