Very. He wasn't efficient before he got here. But past numbers compared to now are crazy.

Level of competition makes a difference.

I have confidence in him, mostly because he is a supreme athlete and has a very high motor. I think he will figure it out by the last 5 games of the season.

I tend to agree. I keep waiting for him to put it all together in a game and have that breakout game. I think he will find his stride before long.

I agree as well. He simply LOOKS like he can be a really good addition as he hits his stride and finds his place with the other guys.

He's getting better ...

I'm also optimistic, but thus far it has been incredibly disappointing the way he was billed prior to his first game. Hopefully we see the improvements soon.

To the best of my memory, his first1-2 Tiger games he made a few nice plays and looked athletic. Since then, his play has been mostly poor. But
Yesterday vs Cincy, he did some good things. His assist was a pretty pass play.
Something about him exudes untapped potential.

He is playing too fast. He has to find a way to slow himself down and play under control.

I think he will figure it out at the 14:00 mark of the 4th from last game of the season

I hope your are right. He seems like a good athlete that should be a good defender but offensively he is awful.

35% from the floor, 15% from three, 55% from the FT line

These transfer ups from a small school to a bigger school will always be a very volatile unpredictable group. Its not just the level of competition you are playing against but you have to consider how these guys will do playing *with* better teammates. A guy like Franklin has been for the last few years the man on his team and had a lot of freedom to get comfortable and a lot of sets run specifically for him. Now he has to figure out how to get his and get going from deep down in the pecking order. To me that appears to be his struggle right now and not just being overmatched by the increased competition.

Franklin is a good athlete.. but he can't make a basket to save his life.

He seems to foul a lot as well

Well another poster thinks he will figure it out the last 5 games of the season----- I think he will figure it out at the 14 minute mark of the 4th from last game of the season.

My "When?" was meant to be an extrapolation of your "Who?".

I hope he figures it out by the Houston games as you predict. I've enjoyed watching the progress of Elijah, Keonte, and Kao. I'm glad to see JLaw get some good playing time while we're waiting on Damaria.

Agreed, we've seen flashes of his ability. He's athletic, fast and can jump through the roof. He just has that one minor deficiency so far, hitting his shots. I think when he finds his rhythm he's going to be a solid contributor.
