It’s official. After playing all four years at Arizona and then playing in 15 seasons for 6 different teams in the NBA, Channing Frye made an official announcement on Twitter that he is going to be retiring at the end of this season. Many former Arizona Wildcat greats have gone on to have successful careers after retirement, wouldn’t surprise me to see the same happen with Frye.
At 7-0, 255 pounds, his ability to shooting from short and long range made him a versatile and valuable player for each team he played on. As the years went on, his playing time did slowly decrease but his understanding and knowledge of the game of basketball helped those around him.
