Frazier, Walker waiting to hear names called

Two former Gators are hoping to hear their names called in tonight’s NBA draft.

One is a shooting specialist. The other a talented athlete who failed to live up to his superstar billing.

If guard Michael Frazier II or forward Chris Walker get taken tonight, they will follow a long line of Gators drafted into the pros. But chances of either being picked in the first round are dim at best. Frazier is projected by most analysts as a mid-second round pick. The 6-foot-10 Walker, meanwhile, isn’t expected to get drafted.
