Tim Frazier (born November 1, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for the New Orleans Pelicans of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) point guard played high school basketball for Strake Jesuit College Preparatory and competed at the collegiate level with Penn State. He earned various accolades with Penn State, including first-team All-Big Ten and All-Big Ten Defensive team honors, both as a junior in 2012. Frazier suffered an injury in his fourth year with the team, forcing him to redshirt the season. In his final season, he was named a Senior CLASS Award finalist and to the Bob Cousy Award watch list. Through his time attending Pennsylvania State University, Frazier also went to the Smeal College of Business.
Frazier was born on November 1, 1990 in Houston, Texas, to Billy and Janice. He started playing basketball when he was five years old. He would knock down trophies of his sister and challenge his sister Krystal to games. His sister later said, "Most people learn basketball early on with a one-on-one kind of mentality... Tim at an early age didn't have that. He always wanted to make the team better and do whatever it takes to help team out. He is such a true point guard." In his childhood, he was considered too small for contact sports, but was noted for his quickness, which helped him thrive as a guard on the court.
Frazier attended Strake Jesuit College Preparatory in Houston, Texas. He completed his junior year with 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.0 steals per game. Frazier was named District 17-5A Defensive Player of the Year. In his senior season, he averaged 15.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 3.6 steals per game, leading the team to a 37–1 record. He helped them become the first private school to reach the state tournament's semifinals. Frazier commented on his final year with Strake Jesuit in an interview with BlueWhiteIllustrated.com. "My game, I don't know, it just hit that next level," he said.
