Frazier, the Florida Gators resident sharp-shooter will be a solid second round draft choice for any team in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Hail Florida Hail
Last season before getting sidelined with an ankle injury, Frazier was leading the Gators in points per game and shooting lights out from three-point range.His return to action will be uncertain and his ability to get open for the catch and shoot ball that he was accustomed to in college will be tested at the next level.
In a way, Frazier reminds me of J.J. Redick in college who was a sharp-shooter that carried his team by sinking clutch shots but he had to adjust in the NBA to find his own shot off the dribble.
I think that is exactly what Frazier will have to do as well.
He has the potential to be a great role player or sixth man for a contending team, like a Danny Green in San Antonio.
Frazier is predicted to go late in Round 2 and could end up with the Spurs at No.55 or No.57 to Denver.
Frazier will make an impact in the NBA but how long will it take for him to do so?
