Double-digit scorer once again Franklin ended with 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 54-52 victory over Virginia Tech.
Impact Franklin has scored in double digits in each of his last six games, but he has also struggled a bit with his efficiency in that span. Even though the junior is averaging 13.7 points per game during that six-game stretch, he's also shot just 25.8 percent from three-point range -- as well as a more respectable 45.6 percent from the field -- across those six contests.

Shooting woes surface again Franklin accumulated 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Friday's 57-56 win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Franklin might have scored in double digits, but the fact that he ended with more field goals than points scored is concerning, to say the least. He's failed to surpass the 10-point mark in three games in a row and has been struggling with his shot as well, hitting just 40.9 percent of his field goals and 22.9 percent of his treys on the season.

Leads Cavaliers in loss Franklin supplied 11 points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 67-47 loss to Houston.
Impact This was an awful performance from Virginia, exemplified by the fact they only mustered 47 total points, and Franklin was the only player who managed to score in double digits. It's only been three games but Franklin is already averaging a career-high 13.0 points per game, so his role as the team's go-to player on offense seems to be quite secure.
