The No. 34 overall pick in the 2017 NBA draft and Naismith College Player of the Year, Frank Mason III has turned heads around the league for his recent play after a very slow start to his rookie season.
If you know anything about Mason’s rise to the NBA it wasn’t easy to say the least. Mason was always counted out growing up in Virginia and never received the attention he demanded, which was merely based on his physical attributes.
Being under 6-foot in today’s game is an instant red flag and only puts NBA hopefuls at an immediate disadvantage compared to their counterparts.
