Channing Frye

Channing Frye (CLE) – “Buffet of Goodness”

Profile:

Forward: 6’11, 255 lbs; 12th year, Arizona

NBA Role: stretch four • Salty DOG

Channing Frye is a very serviceable, catch and shoot power forward who specializes in Js after screens; thought of as a future high-post star back in 2006, Frye completely transformed himself into a pick and pop beast with Steve Nash and the Suns a few years back; DON’T leave him open after a high screen – super quick, high release point allows Frye to release without a moment of hesitation – very hard to close out on; doesn’t really defend or attack the boards at an elite level but he’s not gonna significantly hurt you in those areas either – he’s a vet, Frye accepts his role & doesn’t try to do too much; an invaluable Salty DOG, Frye is in perfect position to add more hardware to his trophy case
