crafty North Dakota stretch forward with multi-position value
In the 2017-18 season, Garrett Franken gave North Dakota a low-usage, bench-floor spacer profile: 12 games, 5.5 minutes per game, 0.8 points and 0.8 rebounds per game, with a 33.3% mark from three on limited attempts.[1][2] His best differentiators were size, shooting touch, and versatility — North Dakota described him as a “highly-skilled” forward who could stretch the floor, play multiple positions, and create difficult matchups.[2] He also arrived with a strong prep résumé, finishing as Atlantic’s all-time scoring leader and earning all-state-level recognition, which hints at a player with feel and competitiveness beyond the box score.[2][3]
