Weber sold on Frazier, says guard should be Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Year

"I'd be shocked if he doesn't become the Defensive Player of the Year," Weber said Tuesday. "I know some other guys have more steals, more blocks, things like that. But the coaches understand what he does."

And the coaches, who vote for the award, have told Weber they've noticed the way Frazier has clamped down on virtually every top-notch scorer who has come his way.
