Kansas guard Frank Mason is good. You probably know this. And you likely had figured it out before his 30-point performance in Friday’s 103-99 overtime loss to Indiana.
But do you know how he’s good? Again, I’m guessing you can make assumptions on that. KU coach Bill Self calls him the most athletic player on the team. He’s quick off the dribble and also has developed into a strong three-point shooter.
But it goes deeper than that. Mason, as you’re about to see, is a good decision-maker. We talk all the time about quarterbacks making reads to put their teams in position to succeed, yet we rarely do that for Mason or other point guards.
