Josh Franklin brings two-way guard value and steady production for Mansfield
In the 2025-26 season, Mansfield guard Josh Franklin emerged as a reliable rotation piece, starting 16 of 27 games while averaging 22.7 minutes, 3.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 steals per game. His strengths are the unglamorous-but-winning kind: he defends, rebounds from the guard spot, moves the ball, and does enough of the little things to stay on the floor. He also posted a season-high 12 points against Edinboro and eight rebounds against East Stroudsburg, which hints at a high-motor, coach-trustable fit for teams needing toughness and glue-guy versatility.
