2017 NBA Manifesto
Tim Frazier
PG, 6’1, 170lbs, 25 years old, 3 years of experience
Played bigger of a role than was ideal for one of his size and talent level, Frazier nevertheless reaffirmed his credentials as a solid NBA backup point guard. Frazier’s assist to turnover was slightly greater than 3:1, and although his size will likely always make him an inefficient scorer (.504 true shooting percentage), his ability to split a defence, probe, kick and occasionally make his own floaters and pull-ups gave him some partial value on that end. Defensively, Frazier needs to be hidden, which is a problem. But that’s easier to do from the bench, which is where he should be anyway. A very good value pick-up for the Wizards and a surprisingly simple departure from the Pelicans.
Player Plan: One year and $2 million remaining. Looks like a rental, but a very good price for his services, and can be re-examined next summer.
