Lightning-quick OU playmaker with real scoring pop
In the 2009-10 season, Tommy Mason-Griffin gave Oklahoma a bursty, high-motor lead guard who could score at all three levels and create for others, averaging 14.1 points and 5.0 assists while shooting 39.8% from the field.[2][10] He was an incoming McDonald’s All-American and, in preseason coverage, was described as lightning quick with the ability to set up teammates or create his own shot, which made him a true pressure point for defenses.[14] The big care factor: he offered genuine pace, flair, and shot-making, but his lone college season ended with an NBA-leaning leap that underscored both his talent and the reality that his game was still being sharpened for the next level.[1][12][14]
