Seattle rookie wins top honor in Boston summer league

BOSTON (AP) - Seattle SuperSonics rookie Desmond Mason was
selected as the top player in the Shaw's Pro Summer League on
Sunday. Mason, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound guard-forward selected 17th
in last month's NBA draft, averaged 18.2 points in the weeklong
tournament at UMass-Boston to lead the SuperSonics to a 4-1
record. "After watching Desmond Mason in the Shaw's Pro Summer
League, it's obvious that he has a bright future," Boston
Celtics
general manager Chris Wallace said. "Desmond is a tremendous
athlete who comes to play every day. That's an explosive
combination." Mason was a first-team Big 12 selection and an
honorable mention All-American at Oklahoma State last season.
Joining him on the all-tournament team were his Seattle teammate
Shammond Williams; Milwaukee's Michael Redd; Indiana's Jeff
Foster; and Philadelphia's Jumaine Jones.
