Kansas senior guard Frank Mason has heard whispers he’ll be selected late in the first round or early in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft scheduled for June 22 in New York.
“But it’s a business. You hear a lot of things. You just have to wait for the moment and see what happens,” Mason said with a shrug Saturday before the Jayhawks seniors’ “Barnstorming Tour” exhibition game at Blue Valley Northwest High School.
The 5-foot-11 Mason, college basketball’s consensus player of the year, is currently listed as the 59th overall pick (to San Antonio) in the 60 player draft by draftexpress.
