I am hearing that Frazier will declare for the NBA draft in the next few days but will not hire an agent, which is smart. His performance at the pre-draft camp in Chicago May 16-20 could determine his future.

Players have until April 22 to submit their names for the draft and can wait all the way until June 11 at 5 p.m. Eastern time to pull their name out, so this could be a long process.

I don't see Frazier as a first-round pick or an NBA player in his first year. I see him as a second-round pick and G League guy at the start. But my opinion doesn't matter. It's all about what the NBA teams think.

Colin Slater announced yesterday he is transferring. Although he had a couple of good games this year, notably at Tulsa when Ona Embo was out with a hand injury, he played poorly most nights and is not a good fit with Dunleavy, who prefers bigger guards. I feel like Slater underachieved in his two years at Tulane. He loves the area, so I would expect him to transfer to a Southland Conference team and would not be surprised if he averages double figures there. The physicality of the AAC was a little too much for him, but he has game.
