Franklin is a foreign aid with excellent ball intelligence and emotional intelligence, has been in the CBA for many years, has been fully integrated into the local culture, and can talk and laugh with the opposing coach on the sidelines, which shows that his life in the middle of the drift has been like a fish.
Franklin is an excellent CBA foreign aid, the famous triple-double king, who moved from Shanxi to Shanghai this summer. After a major injury last season, Franklin is now gradually looking for form on the court.
Franklin American, born in '91, excelled in the NCAA basketball league during college. He was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA draft in 2013. After a brief stint with the Grizzlies, he came to the CBA for 14 years. Franklin's first stop in CBA was Zhejiang Guangsha, and he played 40+ luxury data at the beginning, and became famous in the first world war.
At the end of 2015, Franklin joined Shanxi Fenjiu, averaging 33.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 3.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, becoming an indispensable thigh-level foreign aid for Shanxi. In the 17-18 season, Franklin joined the Sichuan men's basketball team and also played a highlight in Sichuan.
After two seasons in Sichuan, Franklin returned to Shanxi in 19 years, and on December 10 of the same year, in the game between Shanxi and Xinjiang, Franklin had 42 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 steals, becoming the third player in the history of the CBA to get a single-double statistic.
Fast forward to last season, on December 17 last year, during the regular season match against Beijing, Franklin was hit by a notorious Beijing player and seriously injured on the ground, resulting in a season reimbursement. This collision also ruined the future of Shanxi last season.
This season, Franklin came to Shanghai's luxury battleship and became an important part of the shanghai championship puzzle. However, from the current state, Franklin is still far from recovering the strength before the major injury, there are many gaps between speed and core strength and the original, and the threat of breakthrough is much smaller, but the role of the tandem organization of the whole team and the excellent sense of smell on the field are still the key to Shanghai's desire to win.
Franklin is not the sharpest foreign aid in the CBA attack, but his ability in all aspects is relatively balanced. The title of Triple Double King is enough to prove that his role on the field is much stronger than other attack-oriented foreign players, and his career will be much longer.
Now that Franklin is 30 years old and halfway through the golden period of his career, he hopes that Franklin can gradually find his form and lead Shanghai to the championship and break the long-standing pattern of the CBA.
