NEW ORLEANS - Tulane men's basketball junior guard Melvin Frazier has been chosen as a 2018 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division I All-District Second Team selection according to an announcement by the organization on Tuesday.
The recognition is the latest of several for Frazier, who was named a 2018 All-American Athletic Conference Second Team choice and received the league's Most Improved Player of the Year honor last week. He is also one of just 10 players in the conference to receive an all-district nod this season, which was voted on by member coaches of the NABC.
Frazier finished the season tops among all players in the conference in steals (65), second in steals per game (2.2), third in field goal percentage (.556), fourth in points per game (15.9), fifth in average minutes (34.4) and 11th in rebounding (5.6). He finished the year just three points shy of 1,000 for his career, while his 65 steals this year were the sixth most in a single season in program history.
The Avondale, La., native scored at least 20 points 10 times this season and compiled five double-doubles, while recording multiple steals on 18 occasions, including at least three heists in 14 contests. For Tulane, Frazier led the the team in scoring a team-best 15 times and had more double-figure scoring performances than any other Green Wave player with 26.
