Ex-Kansas Guard Frank Mason III asked weird question at NBA Draft Combine

Prospective professional basketball players have been asked all sorts of quirky questions at the combine over the years: whether they slow down or speed up at a yellow light, if they know how many pennies are in a million dollars, and many more.

This question, however, likely takes the cake for one of the top-three most absurd ones. It even borders on inappropriate.
