Frazier relied upon his outside shot in a setting that required shooting range. Cramped in halfcourt drills, Frazier managed to tug his defender further and further away from the basket. At 5-foot-0, in a largely high school populated event, Ryan Frazier was not going to score many points at the rim. Heck, Frazier will exit his seventh grade year reaching a little over 6-foot-4 as his standing reach. His wingspan is three inches smaller than his current height.
Going forward Ryan Frazier can improve every aspect of his game. There are still over five years until he enters college, so countless AAU seasons and hours of personalized instruction if he elects to partake. Considering Ryan Frazier is likely to play guard in high school, focusing on dribbling and above average moves is critical to setting him apart. Outside shooting is a wonderful skill to develop early, but Frazier can’ just be a great shooter in high school. He needs to add the slashing element and eventually create and accept contact.
His confidence in an older crowd speaks highly of Frazier’s mental maturity and bravery. The skills are at a nice starting point and Frazier clearly takes basketball seriously. The foundation is set nicely.
