Fort Wayne Mad Ants
KENNESAW, Ga. – Selected with the 66th overall pick, Kennesaw State men's basketball alum
Nick Masterson became the first Owl in program history to be drafted to the NBA G League, chosen by the Fort Wayne Mad Ants Saturday afternoon.

He is one of three Owls in program history to sink over 200 career treys, ranked second all-time with 217.
He put on a 3-point shooting clinic his senior season at KSU, leading the NCAA with a blistering 54.7 shooting percentage from three-point range. Originally from Woodstock, Ga., Masterson finished his career with over 1,000 points scored (1,119).
A 2017-18 Second Team All-ASUN selection, Masterson also shined in the classroom being named the ASUN Scholar of the year his senior year while being named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team his junior and senior seasons.
