Frank Mason has a huge appetite for pressure, and difficult moments bring out the best in him. During multiple successful seasons with the Kansas Jayhawks, Mason displayed all of these qualities.
As a matter of fact, Bill Self had plenty of good things to say about Mason to the Kings according to Matt Tait the coach said:
His value will be (worth) even more than what he does on the court … he’ll bring a toughness to their culture that’ll be very positive.
