If you've been in school for a while and haven't improved it can hurt your draft stock. That doesn't apply with DFS as he is already an upperclassman. He really should stay another year. When I look at his game I think he has good size to be an NBA small forward and he has the necessary athleticism. He rebounds well and he's a decent defender. On the offensive side he really doesn't have much in the way of moves to get to the basket. At around 40% he is shooting well enough from the perimeter, but I don't think he has a large enough sample size shooting at that rate considering that he only shot 30% from 3 last year.
Looking at the rest of the roster there are 3 other guys that have NBA level athleticism -- Chris Walker, Kasey Hill and Devin Robinson. Unfortunately none of those guys have NBA level skill at this point. Who knows if they'll get there or not. I'm sure that some NBA team would take a chance on Walker if he were to leave this year just because of how high his ceiling could be.
As for Frazier II, I just don't think he has the quickness he would need to make it at the next level. I would love to see him prove me wrong, but he is a little bit undersized for an NBA shooting guard and he doesn't have the ability to get his own shot.
yea, I agree on all accounts. With dfs I think his game is simular to kawhi leanard ,I could see that. I understand what you say about Frazier but he doesn't have to create his own shot I see him strictly as a floor spacer and he's obviously a long shot.
