Frank Mason III will be taking the floor for his country.
The Kings’ reserve point guard was one of 12 players named to the USA Men’s Basketball World Cup qualifying team Monday.
The squad is comprised mostly of players who have just one year NBA experience. In terms of games played, Mason is among the leaders. With 52 NBA games played, he ranks third on the roster behind Dwayne Bacon, who played in 53 games with the Charlotte Hornets, and Henry Ellenson, the only player to play in two NBA seasons. Ellenson has appeared in 57 games for the Detroit Pistons.
