Frazier's brother quits Kansas State basketball
Cary Keith Frazier, younger brother of Cleveland Cavaliers guard Walt Frazier, left the Kansas State basketball team over the weekend. Coach Jack Hartman said Frazier quit because he did not feel he was making satisfactory progress. He will likely continue attending classes at K State. A 6-1 junior, Frazier started briefly last season but played sparingly this year, with only two starts. Hartman noted the comparison to his elder brother, a former Knicks all-star.
