Although Channing Frye will not be wearing a Los Angeles Lakers this upcoming season, it appears like his stint in L.A. was not fruitless.
Certainly, from an on the court standpoint, Frye’s tenure in Los Angeles is nothing to brag about. In just nine appearances with the Lakers in 2017-2018, he averaged 5.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
Despite Frye’s paltry impact on the hardwood, the 35-year-old took the time to evaluate the Lakers later last month. Frye’s comments revealed that he is a believer when it comes to the potential of the team’s young core.
