Zach Frazier stepping in for the injured Nate Herbig is a seamless transition, one that was going to happen sooner or later. Herbig’s season-ending torn rotator cuff merely accelerated that process. Finding out who will back up Frazier is a little more difficult. But consider Mason McCormick as part of the mix, the rookie telling the PPG’s Brian Batko he is seeing more center work in recent days.
“Definitely a little more [lately],” McCormick told Batko of his center usage. “I’ve got to be ready for whatever they throw at me.”
McCormick was almost exclusively a guard at South Dakota State, making over 50 college starts.
