Tim Frazier\u2019s ruptured right Achilles tendon very early last season forced off-guard D.J. Newbill to learn the point.<\/p>\n<p>Now Frazier is back for his fifth year as a senior and from the looks of this afternoon\u2019s practice is fully recovered. And the Philadelphia-bred junior Newbill is a more well-rounded guard than he ever would have been had Frazier not been hurt.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like a potent duo, especially considering a new NCAA initiative to call fouls on any continuous hand-checking. Both guards can go to the rack with alacrity.<\/p>\n<p>But two major questions remain for a Nittany Lion men\u2019s basketball team that struggled without Frazier to 10-21, 2-16 in the Big Ten:<\/p>\n<p>1. Who can consistently make a wing 3-pointer and potentially open up the floor further?<\/p>\n<p>2. Is it realistic to expect that anyone among of a gang of thin and gangly forwards and centers can merely stay competitive once the Big Ten grind rolls around?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/sports\/index.ssf\/2013\/10\/penn_state_needs_a_3-point_sni.html\">Penn State needs a 3-point sniper to help Tim Frazier and D.J.
