Most of the players at Monday’s Sixers pre-draft workout seemed to tower over Frank Mason III. At just six feet tall, Mason was undoubtedly the shortest player on the floor, and in a league where all the guards are getting bigger, the 23-year-old will certainly be combating the NBA’s new guard prototype.
But lack of height doesn’t seem to have ever been a problem for him. Mason exploded in his final year at Kansas, averaging 20.9 points and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 49 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from beyond the arc en route to being named the 2017 Naismith College Player of the Year.
