Good post.It's been done to death before but here goes again - Big Mase was an accidental basketballer. He never played an organised game until college*. He was a soccer goalie.
* I do find it hard to believe that no one in his immediate vicinity - say a high school teacher - thought it might be an idea to chuck him on a court.
Mason did do the international combine and if I remember correctly he did rather well athletically and this was the reason he was offered a Cat B list spot from a number of clubs. So naturally he is quite athletic for his height with his soccer background more then the basketball that he played. Maybe Condon is as well but it is hard to judge. I am certainly not making a bet on this either way at this stage.
