He was projected by the recruiting services as a point guard, and played PG on the US National team (youths)... which i think contributes to the confusion about his natural positions.
Frankamp has always been a scoring guard, that is good with the ball in his hands (makes smart and sound decisions). He does lack the explosiveness to get by Good defenders at this level. But so did Naadir as a freshman. Tharpe improved over time, lets home frankamp does as well.
Mason is almost opposite of Frankamp in that he has the explosiveness to get by defenders but is not as natural a shooter, and makes less sound decisions.
If you took the best of both players and combine them, you basically have Sheron.
While we don't have a Sheron Collins elite type player, we have 2 very capable kids with tons of room to get better. Both of their strengths are very valuable to have.
