On October 7, 2014, Franklin signed a two-month contract with the Zhejiang Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). On November 26, 2014, he signed a one-month contract extension with the Lions. Later that day, he scored 53 points on 19-of-29 shooting in Zhejiangs 120–112 win over the Chongqing Flying Dragons. On January 5, 2015, he left Zhejiang after appearing in 26 games. Over those 26 games, he averaged 28.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

On August 29, 2015, Franklin signed a deal to play inn the CBA with the Guangdong Southern Tigers, but left the team before appearing in a game for them. On December 4, he had returned to play in the D-League with the Los Angeles D-Fenders.

On December 18, Franklin parted ways with the D-Fenders and signed with Chinas Shanxi Brave Dragons (Shanxi Zhongyu). On January 10, 2016, Franklin recorded 44 points, 10 rebounds and 20 assists in a 133–123 win over the Jilin Tigers. He dominated the CBA, 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.

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

In May 2016, Franklin re-signed with the Shanxi Brave Dragons for his third stint in Chinna. On November 14, 2016, Franklin scored 61 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in a 125–104 win over the Beijing Ducks. Franklins performance was the first 60-point triple-double in the history of the CBA.

After exploding for 57 points on 36 attempts in a March PBA game, was reportedly asked by coaches to pass the ball more. He took the instruction literally, attempting just five shots for four points in his next outing and was consequently told his services were no longer required. The month before, he had been fined AU$800 fine for a confrontation with game officials.

COLLEGE

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.

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 a unexpected shared regular-season title and a #6 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Franklin was named Mountain West player of the year and was recognized nationally as a All-American by the Associated Press.

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