Mason spent the 2011-2012 season with the Wizards, averaging nearly 14 minutes per game and 5.5 points per game. Mason will offer a back up to rookie guard Austen Rivers on the Hornets roster, much like he did for the Wizards this past season. The Hornets needed another shooter, which is a role that Mason can fill.
