Miles Franklin is Columbia’s two-way freshman guard with real starter upside
Franklin has emerged as a productive early-career piece for Columbia, averaging **9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 0.9 assists** in regular-season play while starting 22 of 26 games in 2025-26.[3][8] His calling card is efficiency and versatility: he earned five Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors, opened his college career with 13 points on 5-for-5 shooting, and has shown impact scoring, rebounding, and defensive activity. He looks like a fit for teams that value length, poise, and two-way effort over pure volume scoring.[8][9][17]
