GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Some congratulations are in order for Wisconsin Herd guard Frank Mason III. The NBA G League named him the MVP of the 2019 season on Thursday, according to a press release from the league.
Mason, a 5’11, 190 lb guard from Kansas, averaged a G League high 26.4 points, 5 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 23 games with the Herd. With Mason on the floor, the Herd was 18-5 and finished with the league’s best record, 33-10.
If that’s not impressive on its own, Mason shot 50.4 percent from the field, 42.5 percent from three-point range and 81.5 percent from free throw range. With those numbers, he joins the Fort Wayne Mad Ants’ Stephan Hicks as the only players in the NBA G League to record a 50/40/80 shooting season in 2019-20.
In his NBA career, Mason has averaged 6.5 points and 2.5 assists in 96 games with the Kings and Bucks. He has appeared in six games for Milwaukee this season.
