Mason is solid- he needs to keep getting better, but I don't view him as an X factor other than assuming leadership. It's the other young guys and newcomers that need to surprise for the Gophers to move forward.
If Nate Mason is in his "scoring mode" because we have 2 other capable points (hopefully) he absolutely can be an x-Factor. Think of the West Coast All-Star game where he went off for 30+ and the bits and pieces last year where he looked like all he wanted to do was shoot and score. I honestly think last year he played quite reserved due to the fact he was asked to play point and Andre Hollins was filling the role in which Nate may be fitted to also fill.
