In light of poor season" Frasor should play less

TO THE EDITOR:

Does anyone else question whether Bobby Frasor plays too many minutes? Or ever wonder why the announcers seem to feel Frasor is a ""lockdown defender?"" I feel I am not alone in my concern. Let's look at the statistics.

Frasor gets 14.7 minutes a game" the eighth most on the team. He shoots 31 percent from the field 26 percent from 3-point range and 67 percent from the line.

Frasor's recent inability to make a positive impact on the floor makes me feel Roy Williams should play Frasor less. His skills are supposed to be 3-point shooting and defense yet I've seen him become so hesitant he's passing up wide open looks. And for his defense I have often seen him blow assignments in an effort to steal the ball. I just don't see this defense everyone praises him for.

Don't get me wrong Frasor's a great guy and extremely likeable but his season slump should result in less playing time as I believe it should with any player who is having a very poor season.
