The former Penn State basketball star Frazier’s smooth transition to the Wizards is evident so far since beingtraded to the Wizardsduring the 2017 NBA draft in exchange for the Wizards second-round draft pick. He was seen pictured last night with Wall, Beal andKelly OubreJr. at the team’s annual team dinner on the eve of training camp.

Furthermore, Frazier has earned praise already from Wizards players such as Beal who voiced his thoughts about the team’s new backup point guard to CSN Mid-Atlantic’s,Chase Hughes:

"“You guys are going to be surprised. You killed our bench last year. You killed our bench,” he said. “These guys are really working their tails off. They know the game and they play it the right way. That’s what we need. Guys are going to defend, for sure, and get after it. They challenge us as starters… last year it was like one of us always had to be on the floor, but it won’t be like that this year… last year was definitely tough on us and it weared on us down the line.”"

According toChase Hughes, other Wizards news include undrafted forwardDevin Robinsonand former Florida Gator Devin Robinson suffered a foot injury that will sideline him for the immediate future. Robinson, who the Wizards signed to a two-way deal earlier this offseason, sat out of today’s Wizards practice with no indication of when he will return.
