Frank Roderick Elegar (born December 3, 1986) is a U.S. Virgin Islands American-Guyanese professional basketball player for BC Yenisey Krasnoyarsk of the VTB United League. He can play as either a center or a power forward.
After playing for St. Raymond High School for Boys in hometown Bronx, New York, he committed to Drexel University for 2004 over interest from other Division I (NCAA) colleges Hofstra, Marist and Canisius.
Rarely playing in his freshman season, he had the biggest offensive improvement of the whole conference the next, starting the majority of games and regularly scoring in double figures whilst ranking amongst the conference's best at blocking and rebounding. He then led the Dragons in scoring and rebounding for his junior season, making the All-Colonial Athletic Association's second team and the CAA All-Tournament Team. In his final season for Drexel he led them in scoring, rebounding, blocks and field-goal percentage, was selected for All-CAA second team again and also the CAA All-Defensive Team.
Having played 2008 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and the Orlando pre-draft camp, impressing at the first one, he declared for the 2008 NBA draft following his graduation, however he went undrafted.
Participating in the NBA Summer League with the Washington Wizards without earning a contract, he decided to move to Germany to start his professional career, signing a contract with Basketball Bundesliga side Eisbären Bremerhaven in August 2008. After posting unremarkable numbers for a team that finished dead last in the league he moved on to İzmir to play for newly promoted side Bornova Belediye in the Turkish League.
