Frazier was a pleasant surprise at PSU. He played in Talor Battle's shadow and didn't shoot much. When he did shoot he was horrible. That all changed during his last two seasons. He was still a poor 3 pt shooter but he became a big time scorer and team leader. I was hoping the same things would happen for Wheeler but unfortunately it hasn't.
Well, he is far exceeding expectations. When he is undrafted and signed to a developmental contract that means he expected to spend considerable time in the minors developing his skills. To be playing this much and scoring ten points w six rebounds is indeed shining.
his time has been increasing as the Cavs have had a lot of injuries. I am not sure when it happens but his G-league status will turn to NBA minimum at some point as he accumulates games. The difference between the G-Leauge and NBA minimum is pretty substantial. Plus, he gets experience and exposure. If he can continue to score while getting minimum time it is just a matter of who wants to keep him on the full time roster. he's got good NBA size and can play a swing position at guard or small forward. NBA is all about matchups so having position flexibility is valuable to coaches and GMs.
An undrafted rookie being signed to a 2-way contract and then getting 6th-man minutes is pretty impressive. Surely exceeds expectations.
