Personal Statement

Dillon Mason

I have been playing basketball since I was 8 or 9 years old. I saw the game and I told my dad that I wanted to play basketball. I play the game because it is fun. And what makes it fun is that I am pretty good at it. Right now, my goal is to play Division I college basketball. I would describe my game as a scorer, defender, and energetic. My strengths are shooting, defense, and ball handling. My playing style resembles that of NBA's player, Keon Johnson. I want coaches to know that I am a high-level performer, versatile, a team player, coachable, and disciplined.

After hearing a lot of high praise about Dillon Mason recently, it was exciting to see what all the hype was about. In all honesty, the general buzz might be too conservative, as Mason clearly looks like a top-ten player in North Carolina’s Class of 2027. He has basically everything you want in a prospect. At 6-foot-6, Mason legitimately showcased a complete game. He’s a big, strong, physically imposing athlete with lateral burst, vertical explosiveness, and an impressive frame. Given his adaptable identity and natural ability to create matchup problems, Mason is comfortable in all types of roles. He’s a powerful finisher who scores through contact and above the rim, but also displays smooth perimeter shooting and an understanding of how to make plays with the ball in his hands. Mason is a capable creator and initiator who knows how to cut, spot up, and attack the basket with force. He’s a tough, switchable defender who can comfortably guard multiple positions and rebound at a high rate for his size. Mason is also a real problem for opponents in the open floor. Given everything he highlighted, Division I programs would be wise to get involved early.

6'4 Dillon Mason 26' (Upward Stars Carolinas) has a great all around game. Great timing on getting steals and pretty skilled offensively. Finished with 26 pts. A couple 3's and some nice dunks in transition. One to keep an eye on.
