Dupay? Mike Miller? The kid is on fire!

Beal

Beal still does not shoot like Frazier. Just sweet for a freshman.

I can say this about him. If you want to have someone on the floor late in the game when the other team is fouling he would be a good choice. Right now his free throw percentage stands at 94%.

ERVING WALKER, how fast a great Gator that was named to FR ALL SEC team is forgotten by some.

Frazier's 3 point shooting is easily the most noticeable aspect of his game...but he's quietly improved on multiple levels: his defense, rebounding, passing, and understanding of his role in our system.

Very impressed with him thus far--and a great option to have off the bench this year to spell some of our starters for a few minutes. I suspect he's going to be invaluable come tournament time given the heavy minutes our starters could potentially be logging.

Brett Nelson?

Somebody look up the percentages, please

He asked who the last one was which would be Walker. Both Nelson and Walker shot better as FR than Frazier to date. However, hasn't the 3pt line been moved back since Nelson played in '99?

I wouldn't say 33.9% is shooting "poorly". Although he was billed as a much better shooter than that, it seemed like he took time to adjust. I think he was shooting poorly early in the season (somewhere in the %20's). and his % slowly rose throughout the year. Later in the year he was probably averaging out closer to 40% which is more what you would expect from a very good 3 pt shooter in college.

He's shooting 35.9% at the NBA distance

Well here are a few to consider:

1. In 1999-00 Nelson shot 43.4 from the arc on 113 attempts.
2. In 2002-03 Walsh shot 43.2 from the arc on 139 attempts.
3. In 2003-04 Humphrey shot 43.9 from the arc on 57 attempts.
4. In 2007-08 Lucas shot 43.5 from the arc on 85 attempts.
5. In 2007-08 Adam Allen shot 42.1 from the arc on 76 attempts.

For perspective Frazier has shot 57 threes so far this year.

Actually the OP didn't single out strictly shots from the arc. When you consider that Beal shot 33.9 from 3 and overall 44.5 while playing 34 min pg he was pretty darn good as a FR.

Oh heck, enough, Bradley Beal best overall FR player imo when considering everything he did. That's why he collected big $$$$.

Great! So, Walker's percentage was 42%-plus as a freshman? That's pretty good...as are all the ones on InstiGATOR1's list. I was just going off the top of my head and didn't mean to offend Walker.

I wouldn't have guessed that Walsh had shot that high a percentage as a freshman, although he was pretty advanced overall as an offensive player from the get-go.

Wow, 94% from the 3 pt line. I knew he was shooting it good from deep but that good? Is it 94% overall or over the last x number of games?

Wow, didn't realize those guys shot so well,, especially Lucas and Nelson thought they were all high .30 guys, notice you left out Walker, lol

Yeah, my bad on Walker, I check just about everyone who might make the list, but forgot he shot at such a good percentage as a Frosh. So E. Walker was the last to shoot at Frazier's level from the arc as a Frosh.
