SACRAMENTO The Kansas Jayhawks showed up in force Wednesday in
Sacramento. Point guard Frank Mason III dropped in for his second
workout with the Kings. Later in the afternoon, NBC Sports California
confirmed that forward Josh Jackson made an appearance at Golden 1
Center for a meeting with the team

Jackson, 19, is considered a top five pick in the upcoming NBA
Draft. The 6 foot 8, 203 pound wing posted 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and
3.0 assists per game last season while helping Kansas reach the Elite
8.
He and Mason made a devastating tandem, leading the Jayhawks to a 31 5 record and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Mason is listed as a second round pick in most mock drafts, but he s
turned heads with his leadership and athleticism. The 5 foot 11 point
guard put on a dunking display following the workout, showing that his
max vertical of 41 inches from the NBA s combine last month was no
fluke.
The senior guard averaged 20.9 points, 5.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds
in 36.1 minutes a night for coach Bill Self. He is the first player to
come through Sacramento for a second workout this draft season.
According to Mason, he has already worked out for 10 teams

I think it s a good sign, Mason said of his second visit with the Kings. Maybe they re really interested in me.

even taking time to reach out to Kansas fans living in the Capital City
via social media. The 23 year old even invited a young Jayhawks fan and
his father down to his hotel in downtown Sacramento where he took
pictures and hung out in the lobby.
It s really cool to know that I m a role model for kids

The Kings are looking to add at least one point guard in the
upcoming draft, most likely with one of their two top 10 selections. But
if Mason makes it to the early second round where the Kings hold the
34th overall selection, he might be an option as a spark plug off the
bench.
Jackson is the second potential top five player to visit the Kings
during pre draft build up. Kentucky point guard De Aaron Fox made an
appearance two weeks ago, spending the night in Sacramento and working
out for the team.
