Franks Explodes for Career-Best 34 Points, Leading WSU to Road Victory
Robert Franks, a 6'7" senior forward from Washington State, delivered a career-high 34 points on 11-of-17 shooting against Arizona State, matching his best performance while adding 13 rebounds and 4 blocks in a decisive 91-70 road win that snapped a five-game losing skid. Beyond his scoring, Franks differentiates himself with elite intensity, defensive versatility (averaging 0.8 assists and showing strong rebounding at 3.3 per game), and a senior-level calm that lifts team morale. Though he averaged 6.3 points and 16.4 minutes per game over 31 appearances, his intensity and ability to dominate in key moments make him a high-impact fit for teams needing a physical, reliable forward who can score, defend, and lead under pressure.
