After being tendered a qualifying offer by the Bucks a few days ago that would have made him a restricted two-way free agent, point guard Frank Mason III saw that option withdrawn, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports (Twitter link). Mason is now back on the market as an unrestricted free agent.
The 5’11” point guard out of Kansas spent his first two seasons in the league with the Kings, appearing in a total of 90 games. He then signed a two-way contract with the Bucks in 2019/20.
Mason logged nine games for Milwaukee and 23 for the Bucks’ G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd. He thrived with the Bucks’ Oshkosh-based minor league club. Mason was the G League’s Most Valuable Player for the 2019/20 season, averaging a league-best 26.4 PPG, along with 5.0 APG and 3.4 RPG.
Boston Celtics are looking for a PG
Tuff skills
I don’t know about this one. I think Mason is going to be helping someone this year. Going to be this years Christian Woods .
Agreed. There are surely contenders out there looking for PG depth and Mason would fill that role. Considering Augustine was a target of theirs before signing with Milwaukee, I think the Sixers make the most sense here. Celtics and Heat as well. I could see him getting a 1-2 year deal for 4-5M/yr
Bucks had reached their limit of short NBA players they could stomach rostering.
The last Kansas PG, Devon Dotson, also got overlooked, in the draft.
I liked Mason. Awell we don’t need him but he should find a team
