High school career[edit]


Franklin played four years at Serrano High School in Phelan, California, then played a prep season at Westwind Prep in Phoenix, Arizona. As a senior at Serrano, he led the state of California in scoring at 31.7 points per game and was a two-time All-California Interscholastic Federation selection. In his season at Westwind, he averaged 18.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.[2] Franklin was rated as the 24th-best shooting guard in the class of 2009 coming out of Serrano High School and had an ESPN.com grade of 90. Out of high school, Franklin was offered to play basketball at Long Beach State University and San Diego State University.[2]


Franklin played three different sports at Serrano High School: basketball, football (wide receiver and free safety), and track and field, where he was a state high jumper.[2]



College career[edit]


Franklin enrolled at San Diego State to play for coach Steve Fisher. As a freshman, he was part of arguably the best season in school history, along with teammates Kawhi Leonard and Malcolm Thomas, as the Aztecs went 34-3 and captured a #2 seed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Franklin averaged 2.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 8.1 minutes per game.[2]


In his sophomore campaign, Franklin was thrust into the starting lineup as the Aztecs returned only one starter. He responded by averaging 17.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and leading the Aztecs to an unexpected shared regular-season title and a #6 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Franklin was named Mountain West player of the year[3] and was recognized nationally as an All-American by the Associated Press.[4]


Franklin resisted the lure of the professional ranks and returned to San Diego State in 2012–13 for his junior season. He went on to average 16.9 points and 9.5 rebounds in 32 games.[5]


On April 12, 2013, Franklin announced he would forgo his senior season to enter the NBA draft.[6]

Second stint in D-League and China (2015–2016)[edit]


On August 29, 2015, Franklin signed with the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association,[23] but left the team before appearing in a game for them. On December 4, he was reacquired by the Los Angeles D-Fenders.[24] On December 18, Franklin parted ways with the D-Fenders and signed with Chinese team Shanxi Zhongyu.[25] He dominated the Chinese Basketball Association, averaging incredible numbers during his time with Shanxi. In 19 games, he averaged a triple-double with 33.9 points, 10.8 rebounds and 10.3 assists, in addition to 3.3 steals and 1.5 blocks.[26]



Brujos de Guayama (2016)[edit]


On April 5, 2016, Franklin signed with Brujos de Guayama of the Puerto Rican Baloncesto Superior Nacional.[26] He left the team later that month after appearing in just four games.

In May 2016, Franklin re-signed with Shanxi Zhongyu for the 2016–17 season.[27] On November 14, 2016, Franklin scored 61 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in a 125–104 win over the Beijing Ducks.[28] Franklin's performance was the first 60-point triple double in the history of the CBA.[28]
