Shooters are always in demand and from what Frye showed at Pangos, there can’t possibly be many more potent perimeter threats across the region in 2030. The Massachusetts product shot a pure ball from deep beyond the arc with polished mechanics and blistering confidence. He’s not the swiftest athlete but brings nice positional size to the floor already with a solid base to add muscle as he matures. He also flashed nice control to his attack off the dribble but we’d like to see him gain confidence against more aggressive defenders.

His polished skillset should give him a chance to get on the floor right away for Rivers and helped land him a spot in the Top 60 all-star game.

Frye is only a freshman, but I’m confident he’ll have a nice season for Rivers—he just seems ready for NEPSAC hoops. The 6-foot-2 guard is a phenomenal outside shooter and is able to get his shot off effortlessly from all areas on the floor, off of tons of different off-ball actions, and off the dribble. He won’t wow you with quickness, but he has improved his handle every time I’ve seen him and is taking more shots in the paint. At this month’s open gym, I was also impressed with his ability to stay in front of bigger and older players.

Frye continues to get bigger and stronger every single time I see him, and it’s paying dividends in terms of his ability to get to his spots on the floor and score the ball. The 6-foot-2 guard was awesome as a three-point marksman this weekend (as always), but I was also impressed with his improved handle and strength on drives to the rim—he did a good job using his body and playing physical while still being under control and getting good balance on his pull-ups. Frye also passed the ball quite well in a Saturday morning matchup for his Expressions squad, and I always come away impressed by his willingness to play hard on the defensive end.

Frye is the best shooter on this list, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. When you consider the speed with which he can get his shot off, his ability to move with and without the ball, and his general attitude and confidence/maturity, there’s no better shooter in the 2030 class. Frye is going to play legitimate minutes for a good Rivers team this season, and it’s because of his ability to stretch the floor, make sound decisions when the defense collapses, and be a high IQ player—even if he’s missing shots, he’ll be engaged on the defensive end and will continue to shoot open ones. He’s an absolute stud and is going to be DANGEROUS if he continues to grow.
