Melvin Frazier on Summer League debut: 'It was like a dream come true'

LAS VEGAS -- Melvin Frazier loves getting up and down the court, but he had to pump the brakes a bit in his Summer League debut on Friday (July 6).

Frazier, who was selected by the Orlando Magic with the No. 35 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, showed flashes of what made him an appealing prospect coming out of Tulane. But he had to take a seat early in the first half of his team's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets after experiencing some unexpected fatigue.

It may have been the excitement of playing in his first professional game or the altitude in Las Vegas, but Frazier found a way to push through and help his team pull out an 86-80 victory in the Las Vegas Summer League at Cox Pavilion.
