Scouting Reports

Desmond Mason is one of the most underrated players in this years draft. Mason will probably go late-late 1st round or early second round but whoever gets him will be getting a bargain to get him that late. Mason was the go-to guy while playing for Oklahoma State. He is tremendously athletic and plays tenacious defense. On the offensive end, he was once thought of only as a slasher and a high-flyer, but in his senior campaign he showed he can hit the 3-pointer as well as the mid-range jumper to go along with his ability to finish around the basket and get out on the fastbreak. The only knock on his game would be the fact that he is too unselfish. He consistently passed up opportunities in order to move the ball and get his teammates involved. I think he has NBA game that was at times held back by a college "teamwork" frame of mind. This kid improved greatly while under the wing of Eddie Sutton, but make no doubt about it, this kid has a major up-side!
