Even the most avid NBA fans cannot accurately chart the progression of all the newcomers league-wide. Thus, when tuning into the 2016-17 season, I found there was plenty to learn about New Orleans Pelicans point guard Tim Frazier.
It began with wondering who the 26-year-old was, and it is now evolving into a matter of, “Can this guy eventually be an All-Star?”
The signs certainly have been there at the outset: 15.3 points, 9.3 assists and 1.5 steals. Frazier’s brilliance has basically kept New Orleans competitive, and though the Pels creep past last night’s loss to Milwaukee at a putrid 0-4 pace, there are plenty of signs for hope.
